Abstract

A phenylacetylene macrocycle (PAM) derivative containing triphenylamine as the framework was synthesized in one-step Sonogashira coupling. The photophysical and electrochemical properties were investigated in details. This hexamer shows significant enhancement in two-photon absorption cross-section relative to reported PAM derivatives.
