Triphenylamine-sensitized 8-dimethylaminoquinoline (TAQ) probes showed fair two-photon absorption and fragmentation cross sections in releasing kainate and GABA ligands. The water-soluble PEG and TEG-analogs allowed cell internalization and efficient light-gated liberation of the rhodamine reporter under UV and two-photon (NIR) irradiation conditions.
