title: Y-shaped two-photon absorbing molecules with an imidazole-thiazole core.
abstract: Two new classes of two-photon absorbing Y-shaped molecules have been developed to possess an imidazole-thiazole core and a stilbene-type conjugation pathway with either nitro or sulfonyl as terminal electron-accepting group.
