Macroheterocyclic compounds can be considered as structural analogues of phthalocyanine having one or two opposite isoindole fragments (B) replaced by other cyclic subunits (A) derived from aromatic diamines. In this short review our attention is focused on recent advances in the chemistry of new representatives of macroheterocyclic compounds of ABAB-, ABBB-and ABABAB-types, where A is 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoline and 1,3,4-
