Abstract
Indanthrone has been shown to exhibit the phenomenon of reverse saturable absorption.1 The wavelengths at which indanthrone behaves as a reverse saturable absorber can be changed by chemical modification of the indanthrone chromophore. We have synthesized several derivatives of indanthrone, and they have been shown to be more efficient reverse saturable absorbers than the parent indanthrone chromophore.
