Supramolecular Approach to Tuning the Photophysical Properties of Quadrupolar Squaraines

In the present study, the influence of the hydrogen bonding for the one- and two-photon absorption of the prototypical squaraine dye is investigated with quantum chemistry tools. The central squaraine unit is bound by strong hydrogen bonds with 4-substituted N,N′-diphenylurea and, alternatively, N,N...
