TL;DR: The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of a series of platinum acetylide complexes that feature highly pi-conjugated ligands substituted with pi-donor or -acceptor moieties are investigated, finding that the ligands have strong effective two-photon absorption cross-sections, while the heavy metal platinum centers give rise to efficient intersystem crossing to long-lived triplet states.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated two-photon and excited-state absorption in D-pi-A chromophores and proposed a model to explain nonlinear absorption in the nanosecond regime.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-photon excited fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) within a light-harvesting dendrimer has proven to be a reliable method for the enhancement of the effective TP absorption efficiency of many FRET acceptor molecules.

TL;DR: A vinylene-linked porphyrin dimer, with no substituents at the beta-positions, has been synthesized by CuI/CsF promoted Stille coupling, and the absorption, emission spectra, and electrochemistry reveal substantial porphirin-porphyrin pi-conjugation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive one-photon photophysical study has been carried out on AF455, a known twophoton absorbing dye, which is composed of an electronaccepting center with three arms that consist of a π-conjugated group with an electron-donating group at the terminal end of each arm.
