Excited state absorption cross-sections of an asymmetric pentaazadentate porphyrin-like Cadmium complex

Absorption cross-sections of the first excited singlet and triplet states of an asymmetric pentaazadentate porphyrin-like cadmium complex have been measured using Z-scans employing both 7.1-ns and 30-ps pulse widths, each at multiple pulse energies.
