Divergent synthesis of ruthenium alkynyl dendrimers and a two-photon absorption cross-section dendritic effect

Ruthenium alkynyl dendrimers up to second generation in size have been prepared by a divergent route and exploiting Sonogashira coupling. The cubic NLO properties have been examined by wide spectral range fs Z-scan studies, revealing an NLO dendritic effect. The significant increase in NLO propertie...
