Polymers of porphyrins and their complexes are a well - investigated class of polymers
which show good properties in carrying -oxygen
electrical -conducti -vity or catalytic activity. These polymers include of the coordinative (through the metal atom) and covalent (througth the ligand) binding or incorporation of the metalloporphyrin in a polymer clain
and polymeric metalloporphyrins with the metal in the main chain or through the ligand. This review deals with development of synthesis and properties of polymers of porphyrins and their complexes during the past ten years.
