Porphyrazine, its Analogues and Their Metalcomplexes: Theoretical Consideration and Experimental Data

Porphyrazines are specific analogues of porphyrins – macrocyclic compounds with tetrapyrrole macrocycles, which are key components of a number of natural compounds, in particular chlorophyll and heme, playing a decisive role in the processes of reversible transfer of oxygen molecules in living organisms. They differ from porphyrins in that their meso-positions contain nitrogen atoms, not carbon atoms, as is the case in porphyrins. One of the most important representatives of porphyrazines is phthalocyanine, in which... see more
