Synthesis, photophysics and two-photon absorption of imidazole-centred tripodal chromophores

Abstract

Tripodal push-pull chromophores with D-(π-A)3 arrangement were synthesized using 1-methyl-2,4,5-triphenyl-1H-imidazole as a central electron donor, while their thermal, electrochemical, photophysical and non-linear optical properties were studied and corroborated with quantum-chemical...
