In order to obtain porphyrin-containing polymers, the copolymerization of acrylate monomers of the various structures with natural porphyrin, namely methyl pheophorbide a (MPP) and its complex with copper (CuMPP) in tetrahydrofuran and toluene was studied. The copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with MPP or CuMPP, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) with MPP or CuMPP having different compositions were synthesized. The influence of the nature of the solvent, the initial mass ratio of the monomers during copolymerization on the structure, composition, and properties of the obtained compounds were investigated. The study of the physico-chemical, molecular weight, structural, and chemical characteristics of the prepared copolymers was carried out. The possibility of controlled synthesis of the copolymers with controlled molecular weight characteristics by varying the parameters of the reaction medium was shown.
