Herein the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, two‐photon absorption and electrochemical properties of 3,6‐disubstituted carbazole tweezers is reported. A dimer resulting from a Glaser homocoupling was isolated during a Sonogashira coupling reaction between a diethynyl‐carbazole spacer and a 5‐bromo‐triarylporphyrin and the properties of this original compound were compared with the 3,6‐disubstituted carbazole bisporphyrin tweezers. The dyads reported herein present a two‐photon absorption maximum at 920 nm with two‐photon absorption cross‐section in the 1200 GM range. Despite a strong linear absorption in the Soret region and moderate fluorescence quantum yield, they both lead to a high brightness reaching 30 000  M −1  cm −1 .
