title: An improved singlet oxygen sensitizer with two-photon absorption and emission in the biological transparency window as a result of ground state symmetry-breaking.
abstract: A chromophore featuring a diyne bridge that connects two dibromobenzene moieties shows a much improved two-photon singlet oxygen generation ability in the biological transparency window compared to a related and relevant literature benchmark, as a result of a distorted ground state.
