Heteroaromatic compounds having two-photon absorption activity

摘要

The present invention relates to new heteroaromatic compounds having two-photon absorption activity. According to the invention, said compounds are suitable for use as optical power limiting agents via two-photon absorption or for use as imaging agents with two-photon absorbing activity for application in two-photon laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Compositions including said compounds and intermediates for their preparations are also within the scope of the present invention.
