1.1. Scope of the Review Mixed valence is a phenomenon that many chemists
spontaneously associate with coordination compounds. The prototype of a designed mixed …

A series of D-π-A-π-D type of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent compounds based on benzobis
(thiadiazole) and its selenium analogues were synthesized and fully characterized by 1H …

We present a joint theoretical and experimental work aimed to understand the spectroscopic
behavior of multipolar dyes of interest for nonlinear optics (NLO) applications. In particular …

Most symmetric quadrupolar molecules designed for two-photon absorption behave as
dipolar molecules in the S1 electronic excited state. This is usually explained by a breakup …

Achieving long-lived symmetry-broken charge-separated states in chromophoric assemblies
is quintessential for enhanced performance of artificial photosynthetic mimics. However, the …

After a long period as model compounds in basic research [2.2] paracyclophanes are
quickly gaining in practical importance. They can be incorporated into numerous polymeric …

Transition metal complexes (TMCs) play a crucial role in a wide range of light-mediated
processes across chemical, material, and physical systems, attracting significant attention …

Symmetry breaking of the excited state of a linear quadrupolar acceptor–donor–acceptor
molecule was investigated using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy in 55 solvents …

A series of tetracationic quadrupolar chromophores containing three-coordinate boron π-
acceptors linked by different π-bridges, namely 4, 4′-biphenyl, 2, 7-pyrene, 2, 7-fluorene, 3 …

The influence of the length of the push–pull branches of quadrupolar molecules on their
excited-state symmetry breaking was investigated using ultrafast time-resolved IR …
