✦ Synopsis

Macrocyclic ring systems in polymer phases described in this overview are part of the field of macromolecular metal complexes. In this review, first, examples of porphyrins in protein environments being active in biological systems are given. These biological sites are essential to understand the functions of artificial systems. Then a classification and examples of synthetic macromolecular metal complexes based on porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related systems are described.
