title: Towards "smart" multiphoton fluorophores: strongly solvatochromic probes for two-photon sensing of micropolarity.
abstract: New fluorophores, combining broad, very high two-photon absorption in the near-infrared region with a marked dependence of their emission spectra on solvent polarity, have been designed as model probes for two-photon sensing of the chemical environment.
