Multiple bond-conjugated photoinduced nitric oxide releaser working with two-photon excitation

Four novel nitric oxide (NO) releasers working via two-photon excitation (TPE), based on an acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) molecular design, were synthesized. Their decomposition and NO release in response to one-photon excitation, and their decomposition in response to two-photon excitation were examined. Their photoinduced decomposition characteristics are discussed.

Design and synthesis of four novel NO releasers are reported together with their properties of decomposition and NO release via one- or two-photon excitation in this Letter.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
