This paper evaluates the use of diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride compounds for designing efficient fluorescent probes through two-photon absorption. Three different pathways allowing for the syntheses of symmetrical and dissymmetrical molecules are reported. The stable diaroyl(methanato)-boron difluoride derivatives can be easily obtained in good yields. They exhibit a large one-photon absorption that is easily tuned in the near-UV range. Their strong fluorescence emission covers the whole visible domain. In addition to these attractive linear properties, several diaroyl(methanato)-boron difluoride derivatives possess significant cross sections for two-photon absorption. The derived structure-property relationships are promising for designing new generations of molecules relying on the diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride backbone.
