Following the development of the idea of octupolar molecules as nonlinear optical
materials a variety of compounds have been reported. Trans-porphyrins have a great potential to selforder
into octupolar symmetry. Nonlinear optical properties can be tuned by using strong donor-acceptor
groups in porphyrins as well as extension of conjugation. Here we report the syntheses of trans-A2D2-
porphyrins and their dimerization into cubic octupoles by organic bidentate ligands.
