Abstract
Three new acceptor–donor–acceptor compounds (LBQ, DBQ, BYQ) were synthesized and characterized by infrared, hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Their photophysical properties were investigated including linear absorption, single-photon excited fluorescence, fluorescence quantum yield and two-photon absorption. These compounds in CH2Cl2 exhibit good fluorescence quantum yield which are 0.36, 0.26, and 0.25 and the largest two-photon absorption cross-section which are 48, 36, and 181GM respectively. Under the excitation of Ti: sapphire laser with a pulse width of 140fs, LBQ and DBQ emit blue two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), while BYQ emits bright yellow TPEF. BYQ has a good solubility in water and the σ can be as large as 130GM, so it shows promising applications in many pharmaceutical and biological fields.
