This communication presents a structure-property study of a few novel pyridine-based difluoroborate compounds with a N-BF2-O core, which exhibit outstanding fluorescence properties. To exploit their potential for two-photon bioimaging, relationships between the two-photon action cross section and systematic structural modifications have been investigated and unravelled.
