Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY | Source: | CHEMICAL SCIENCE, 3 (4), p. 984-995 | Abstract: | A series of chromophores with enhanced second-and third-order nonlinear optical properties were engineered for use in combined second-harmonic and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. Electronaccepting moieties imparted nonlinear optical properties to the chromophores. The electron-rich carbazole core served as a template towards one-or two-dimensional chromophores. More efficient acceptor groups (pyridinium, benzazolium, benzothiazolium) on the carbazole donor core resulted in improved second-and third-order nonlinear optical properties. A selection of these chromophores was tested in a cellular environment with a multimodal multiphoton microscope. The structural differences of the chromophores resulted in high selectivity for mitochondria or the nucleus in two-photon fluorescence and ranging from no signal to high selectivity for mitochondria in the SHG channel. | Notes: | [Chen, Wei-Qiang; Zheng, Mei-Ling; Duan, Xuan-Ming] Chinese Acad Sci, Tech Inst Phys & Chem, Lab Organ NanoPhoton, Beijing 100190, Peoples R China.
