Abstract

Decarbonylation of cyclopropenones is usually induced by UV irradiation. These conditions, however, are not compatible with many biomedical applications, which require use of light in a so-called “phototherapeutic window”, a region of relative tissue transparency between 650 and 950 nm. One of the approaches allowing for the alleviation of this problem is to employ nonresonant two-photon excitation (2PE). At high light fluxes chromophores might simultaneously ...
