Use of chemical kinetics for the description of metal porphyrin reactivity

The results of use of chemical kinetics receptions, approaches and methods for the study of porphyrins and their metal complexes reactivity are discussed on an example of oxidation, acid-basic, and catalytic reactions of rhodium, palladium, and rhenium complexes of porphyrin in liquid solutions. The peculiarity of the porphyrin reaction rates is analyzed in a brief context of general provisions of the chemical kinetics. The opportunity to use the quasistationarity principle at the definition of the kinetic equation of the reactions with participation of metal porphyrins is shown. The transition from the process kinetic description to consideration of its mechanism is explored.
