Tetrapyrrole Macroheterocyclic Compounds. Structure–Property Relationships

Abstract

Abstract In this review, we generalize the research results obtained by Russian scientists in the last 10-15 years for porphyrins, related compounds, and their metal complexes with a pronounced application potential. The main attention is paid to the analysis of relationships between the spectral, catalytic, and sensor properties of tetrapyrrole compounds and the structure of peripheral substituents and axial ligands and the nature of the coordinating metal atom.
