Peculiarities of the unique structure of porphyrins, possibilities of their peripheral functionalization, ability of metal complexes to extracoordination allow to use them for inclusion in porphyrin-polymer systems in order to endow them with specific properties, determined by tetrapyrrole macrocyclic compounds and their complexes. Porphyrins and their analogues being immobilised on a polymer carrier not only preserve their useful properties, but even strengthen them due to cooperative interactions in polymer chains, separation of active centres, increase of stability of tetrapyrrole fragments This review systematise methods of synthesis of meso-phenyl substituted porphyrins which can be used for fastening on a polymer-carrier. The general approaches to functionalization of porphyrin monomers and their immobilization on synthetic polymers by macromolecular reactions and copolymerization are considered. Strategy of porphyrin-polymer syntheses is based on the previoiusly obtained regularities of mutual influence of the structure of tetrapyrrolic macroheterocycles and polymer-carriers and their ability to self-organization.
