Abstract
In the carotenoporphyrins, a polyene (carotene) is covalently linked to a porphyrin.1 The component parts of these molecules are known to have large third-order optical nonlinearities and there is the possibility of new charge transfer states in the linked materials,2 so the carotenoporphyrins may have promise as new NLO materials.
