Abstract:
Two-photon absorption (TPA) has attracted growing attention over recent years owing to the wide range of applications in organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. The quantitative sensitivity of a two-photon molecular entity is determined by its TPA cross-section (δTPA). Perylene diimides (PDIs) are excellent n-type organic semiconductor materials demonstrating distinguished thermal, optical, and chemical stability. Nonetheless, PDIs-based scaffolds exhibit poor δTPA in the NIR-I region (700-900 nm) due to the lack of suitable molecular design. Here, two novel star-shaped PDIs fluorophores, namely PDI-S and PDI-Se, were constructed by four periphery S/Se-fused PDIs connected with bicarbazole core. PDI-S manifested excellent δTPA of 3775 GM, which are among the highest values reported for PDIs excited in the NIR-I region.
