Two imidazole–pyrimidine hexafluorophosphate derivatives (6P and 10P) are synthesized. The 2PA cross-section values (σ) were obtained by Z-scan and two-photon excited fluorescence methods. 6P and 10P can be used to quantify and image organelles in living cells and tissues.

Acetylene-bridged bisporphyrins and trisporphyrins having branched bulky bis(carboxylethyl)methyl meso-substituents were synthesized. These compounds showed large effective two-photon absorption cross-section values at 890 nm measured by using a nanosecond Z-scan method. Sodium salt of hydrolyzed trisporphyrins showed broad and red-shifted Q-bands over 900 nm. Two-photon absorption cross-section values of water-soluble dimers in water were similar to, or slightly larger than, those of ester forms evaluated in toluene. Furthermore, the generation of singlet oxygen upon one-photon irradiation for dimers in water was confirmed.

AbstractA series of tetradonor substituted [2.2]paracyclophane-based two-photon absorption (TPA) fluorophores were designed, synthesized and characterized. Different substituents were chosen to modulate the conjugation and the donor strength and to allow the molecules to be neutral (N series, organic-soluble) or charged (C series, water-soluble). The overall set of compounds series allows us to examine the correlation among the solvent polarity, donor ability of the substituents, and TPA action cross section (ηδd, where δ is the TPA cross section and η is the quantum yield). In water, a significant drop of both δ and η is observed, approximately one-third relative to those in toluene. Weaker donors and/or weaker acceptors with enhanced conjugation are a better choice due to a minimized quenching related to strong charge transfer (CT) upon excitation. One thus needs to fine-tune the magnitude of CT and find an optimal balance among CT,δ and η.

Studies on two-photon absorption (2PA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) by using three water-soluble porphyrin self-assemblies consisting of ethynylene-linked conjugatedbis(imidazolylporphyrin) are reviewed. 2PA cross-section values in water were obtained by an open aperture Z-scan measurement, and values were extremely large compared with those of monomeric porphyrins such as hematoporphyrin. These compounds were found to generate singlet oxygen efficiently upon one- as well as two-photon absorption as demonstrated by the time-resolved luminescence measurement at the characteristic band of singlet oxygen at 1270 nm and by using its scavenger. Photocytotoxicities for HeLa cancer cells were examined and found to be as high as those of hematoporphyrin, demonstrating that these compounds are potential candidates for 2PA-photodynamic therapy agents.
