H. Sun and co‐workers demonstrate a novel 3D two‐photon‐type light‐harvesting system which may be directly used for in vivo bioimaging and nonlinear optical devices. As shown on page 40, two‐photon excited Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is exploited to enhance the solid‐state fluorescence of a supramolecular centre (acceptor) in an artificial 3D metal‐organic complex (MLC), in which a 3D Zn(II)‐coordinated tetrahedral core is utilized as the donor.
