Abstract
The data on the synthesis, structures, and chemical properties of macrocyclic compounds containing endo-cyclic atoms of tri- and pentavalent phosphorus are summarized. Methods for the synthesis of the described macrocycles are reported. Peculiarities of structure, chemical properties, particularly formation of complexes, catalytic activity, and practical applications are analyzed. The bibliography includes 155 references.
