Abstract

Boron dipyrromethene type molecules (BODIPYs) are versatile molecules which have been used for applications ranging from photodynamic therapy to solar cells (DSSC). However, these molecules usually do not present high two-photon absorption cross-sections, limiting their use in nonlinear optical applications. Herein, we study a series of BF2-naphthyridine based boron-complexes with electron-donating and withdrawing groups to increase their two-photon absorption. We have found two-photon absorption cross-sections up to approximately 270 GM, which corresponds to an increase of approximately five times in comparison to the average cross-section value reported for molecules with similar conjugation length, indicating such compounds as potential materials for nonlinear applications in both the visible and infrared spectral regions.
