Abstract:

The effect of cruciform structure on the two photon absorption action cross-section of fluorescence chromophore was reported. 1,4-Di(9'-ethyl-carbazolyl)- 3'-vinylbenzene(R1) is a classic two photon absorption(TPA) chromophore with D-π-D structure. By linking two TPA chains with a biphenyl bridge, the obtained cruciform molecule(1) exhibits evidently larger two photon absorption action cross-section(σ') than its single-chain counterpart. For example, in 10-4 mol/L toluene solution, cruciform 1 shows a σ' value of 491.0×10-50 cm4·s, while the σ' value of R1 is only 137.5×10-50 cm4·s. The amplification of σ' was ascribed to the cruciform structure, which rendered the TPA chromophores with cross dipole arrangement and curbed the fluorescence quenching in concentrated solutions.
