A series of trans-platinum(II) acetylide complexes featuring two-photon absorbing chromophores were synthesized and their photophysical properties measured. One-photon studies include absorption, emission, quantum yields, and emission lifetimes. Multi-photon studies include transient absorption and open aperture z-scan. In addition to solution photophysics, the complexes were cast in the solid state and the photophysical properties were measured. Coupling of organic chromophores to the platinum metal allows for efficient intersystem crossing, which gives rise to the desired material properties of these systems.
