Abstract
Copper(II)-catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling of dipolar 2-H-benzothiazoles end-capped with triphenylamine moieties affords highly fluorescent 2,2'-bibenzothiazoles with quadrupolar (D-π-A-π-D) architecture displaying large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections (543-1252 GM) in the near-infrared region. The notably higher TPA performance as compared to quadrupolar π-systems with a widely used 2,2'-bipyridine core, along with the ease of the synthesis and chelating N^N ability, makes the title biheteroaryl platform an attractive building block for a large scope of functional dyes exploiting nonlinear optical phenomena.
