Tetrapyrrolesare a class ofchemical compoundscontaining fourpyrrolerings held together by directcovalent bondsor by one-carbon bridges (=(CH)-or-CH2-units), in either a linear or a cyclic fashion.

Some tetrapyrroles are the active cores of some compounds with crucialbiochemicalroles in living systems, such ashemoglobinandchlorophyll).
