Abstract

Two molybdenum (VI) tris (dithiolene) complexes with phenyl or naphthyl substituents were synthesized and their two-photon absorption properties were investigated by an open- aperture Z-scan technique using near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses. Both of these complexes exhibited significant two-photon cross sections around the wavelength of 1.3 μm, with the naphthyl substituted complex showing a two-photon cross section of 660× 10− 50 ...
