title: Donor-substituted cyanoethynylethenes: powerful chromophores for opto-electronic applications.
abstract: Donor-substituted cyanoethynylethenes (CEEs) were synthesised, structurally characterised and investigated for their electronic and two-photon absorption properties, revealing exceptionally strong intramolecular charge-transfer interactions.
