title: Two-photon-activated ligand exchange in platinum(II) complexes.
abstract: Two photons are better than one: a square-planar Pt(II) complex with derivatized pyridine ligands was synthesized, which undergoes two-photon-induced ligand substitution with 600-740 nm light. Linear and quadratic density functional response theory allowed identification of the electronic transitions involved.
