Shining star: Star-shaped hexakis(oligothienylethynyl)benzene with C 6 symmetry shows solvatochromic fluorescence with a marked redshift in emission. Furthermore, the star-shaped molecule shows a fairly large two-photon absorption property. Interestingly, the molecule forms fluorescent fibrous materials from hexane, DMF, and isopropyl alcohol owing to its disc-like structure (see graphic). © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
