Triaryl boron-based A-pi-A vs triaryl nitrogen-based D-pi-D quadrupolar compounds for single- and two-photon excited fluorescence.
Three new A-pi-A-type compounds with trivalent boron, protected by two mesityl groups, as electron acceptor have been synthesized and investigated together with their two diphenylamino-ended D-pi-D analogues. These boranes exhibit large two-photon absorption cross sections and high fluorescence quantum yields.
