Abstract

The present study describes the synthesis and investigation of chimeric structures where 6- quinoline and 8-quinoline caging units are integrated in multipolar systems to yield “hybrid” molecular structures for two-photon uncaging. These systems were demonstrated to exhibit strikingly enhanced (up to more than 2 orders of magnitude larger for octupolar derivatives) two-photon absorption responses in the NIR region compared to common caging groups. ...
