Abstract

The fluorescence and other photophysical parameters of highly polarized, quadrupolar bis-coumarins possessing an electron-rich pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole bridging unit are highly dependent on the linking position between both chromophores. Delocalization of the LUMO on the entire π-system results in intense emission and strong two-photon absorption.
