The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of 4,4′-bis(para-di-n-butylaminostyryl)-2,2′-bipyridine (NBu2bipy) and related dipolar ([ZnY2(NBu2bipy)] (Y = Cl, CF3CO2), [Zn(2,2′-bipyridine)2(NBu2bipy)] [PF6]2) and octupolar ([Zn(NBu2bipy)3][PF6]2) complexes were investigated by the two-photon emission (TPE) technique in a femtosecond regime, working in the 730-930 nm spectral range. We found, in contrast with previous literature data, that the TPA enhancement upon coordination of a TPA active ligand to a metal center may be larger in the dipolar rather than the corresponding octupolar complex, the response being easily modulated by the choice of the ancillary ligands. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
The two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of 4,4′-bis(para-di-n-butylaminostyryl)-2,2′-bipyridine (NBu2bipy) and related dipolar ([ZnY2(NBu2bipy)] (Y = Cl, CF3CO2), [Zn(2,2′-bipyridine)2(NBu2bipy)] [PF6]2) and octupolar ([Zn(NBu2bipy)3][PF6]2) complexes were investigated by the two-photon emission (TPE) technique in a femtosecond regime, working in the 730-930 nm spectral range. We found, in contrast with previous literature data, that the TPA enhancement upon coordination of a TPA active ligand to a metal center may be larger in the dipolar rather than the corresponding octupolar complex, the response being easily modulated by the choice of the ancillary ligands. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
