Chemical two-photon fluorescence

We describe a method based on a caged fluorescent molecule that can act as a chemical two-photon probe. It is composed of an organic fluorophore and a ruthenium-bipyridine complex that acts as a photoremovable quencher. For the fluorophore to be emissive, two independent photons must act on the mole...
