Covalent and non-covalent systems based on s-, p-, and d-metal macroheterocyclic complexes and fullerenes

Abstract

The review summarizes various systems containing macroheterocyclic donor platforms and fullerenes. The specific features of the chemical structure and spectral properties of such molecular systems, charge transfer processes in complexes and mechanisms of their formation, and potential fields of their practical application are considered. Special attention is given to supra-molecular systems, in which metal-containing porphyrins/phthalocyanines bearing a complex-forming cation other than zinc act as electron donors.
