Strong cooperative enhancement of two-photon absorption in double-strand conjugated porphyrin ladder arrays.

We present the two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra of a series of conjugated porphyrin oligomers containing N = 2, 4, 8, and ca. 13 monomer units, meso-meso connected with butadiyne linkers. We demonstrate that, in the coplanar double-strand arrays, self-assembled upon addition of 4,4'-bipyridy...
