Photoreactive linker systems for drug delivery in modern ophthalmology are crucial for the efficiency of such applications. We compare 5 different linker molecule candidates (truxillic acid and 4 dimers of coumarin derivates) in solution regarding their chemical stability and two-photon induced cleavage efficiency, and shed light into the role of molecular structure in the cleavage reaction. Dimers of the coumarin family showed much higher two-photon ...
