This series of dendrimers show significantly enhanced two-photon absorptions that are up to 3-fold that of triphenylamines with similar molecular size and structure.Bridged triphenylamine-based dendrimers: Tuning enhanced two-photon absorption performance with locked molecular planarity200910.1021/ol801238n2015-12-09
