Star‐shaped oligo(thienylethynyl)benzenes have a multi‐functionality like the Senjyu Kannon statue with thousands of hands and outstanding talent (see picture). These molecules show solvatochromic fluorescence, a marked redshift in emission and a fairly large two‐photon absorption property, and fluorescent nanostructured polymorphs.
