The first decade of the 21st century promoted an increase of the number of
research devoted to the chemistry of tetrapyrrole compounds. On the one hand, this is
due to the development and improvement of methods of investigation of compounds
and materials, so it becomes possible to determine the exact composition, structure and
purity of complex macrocyclic compounds. On the other hand, metal complexes with
tetrapyrrolic compounds possess unique properties and as a result they used in the
development of new functional materials 1-3
.
The report analyzes the approaches toward synthesis of tetrapyrrole compounds
(porphyrins and phthalocyanines) - homo-and heteroleptic, as well as homo-and
heteronuclear complexes. The construction of solid-state supramolecular architectures
on the basis of tetrapyrrolic compounds will be specially discussed.
