The two-photon absorption (2PA) and photophysics of heptamethine dyes featuring cyanine or dipolar electronic structures have been compared for the first time. The perfectly delocalized cyanine system is classically characterized by a two-photon transition matching the vibronic component of its lower energy absorption band. The dipolar species is generated by ion-pairing with a hard counterion in a non-dissociating solvent and displays significant modifications oft he optical properties, including a significant hypochromic shift of absorption, weaker emission and 2PA matching the lower energy transition, thus revealing symmetry breaking within the polymethine electronic structure.
