Two-photon spectroscopy of tungsten(0) arylisocyanides using nanosecond-pulsed excitation†
Abstract
The two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections (δ) for tungsten(0) arylisocyanides (W(CNAr)6) were determined in the 800–1000 nm region using two-photon luminescence (TPL) spectroscopy. The complexes have high TPA cross sections, in the range 1000–2000 GM at 811.8 nm. In comparison, the cross section at 811.8 nm for tris-(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II), [Ru(bpy)3]2+, is 7 GM. All measurements were performed using a nanosecond-pulsed laser system.
