Recently, covalently linked or self-assembled porphyrin array systems have attracted much attention for their enhanced two-photon absorption (TPA) behaviors. In this study, we investigated the TPA properties of various dihedral angle controlled, directly dimers and arrays to elucidate relationship between π-conjugation pathway properties. We demonstrated a strong correlation (aromaticity) in assemblies.
