Two-photon fluorescent microporous bithiophene polymer via Suzuki cross-coupling

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 4;48(76):9519-21. doi: 10.1039/c2cc34535h.

Abstract

A microporous bithiophene polymer (MBP) stable up to 460 °C was synthesized using bithiophene and biphenyl as building blocks through Suzuki cross-coupling. The as-obtained MBP product exhibits green fluorescence peaked at 530 nm, and most interestingly, a two-photon fluorescence was observable from MBP upon excitation by an 800 nm femtosecond laser.
