A hexakis[2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(butyloxy)phthalocyaninato] samarium(III)–cadmium(II) sextuple-decker complex (Pc*)Sm(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Cd(Pc*)Sm(Pc*) (1) with six phthalocyanine ligands bridged by two samarium(III) and three cadmium(II) ions, representing the largest stacked tetrapyrrole metal molecule in the sandwich series in terms of the tetrapyrrole-deck number, has been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and electrochemically. Investigation of the nonlinear optical properties reveals the excellent optical limiting property of this compound.
