Phthalocyanine‐based nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are reviewed, with particular emphasis on second‐order effects. The requirements on materials and molecules for NLO activity are outlined before three recently studied families are briefly considered: asymmetrically substituted phthalocyanines (Pcs), subphthalocyanines.
