Singlet molecular oxygen (a1δg) has been produced and optically detected upon two-photon nonlinear excitation of a sensitizer with a focused laser beam. The experiments were performed using toluene solutions with either a substituted

3,8-Diaryldifurano[2,3-a:2',3'-f]naphthalenes were prepared in two simple steps. First, 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene and 1-aryl-2-bromodecan-1-ones were condensed to the corresponding naphthalene 1,5-diethers. Second, these intermediates were cyclized using methanesulfonic acid in methylene chloride. Seven examples are given, three of which are doubly substituted with octyl chains to enhance the solubility. This increased solubility allowed further modification of the 3,8-aryl groups to attach electron-withdrawing groups (formyl, nitrile, dicyanovinyl, and benzoyl).
