Porphyrin arrays are multiporphyrinic systems which assembled either by bridging units or bonds. The electronic properties of porphyrin arrays depend on the bridging units and the bridging positions on porphyrins. In the last two decades, electronically interacting multiporphyrinic systems have been actively explored due to their potential applications in optoelectronic devices, sensors, photovoltaic devices, nonlinear optical materials, and photodynamic therapy pigments. Porphyrin arrays can be constructed by means of noncovalent bonds or covalent bonds, the former is easy but the assembled array is unstable while the latter is opposite. The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction is classified as a coupling reaction where the coupling partners are a boronic acid or borate ester with a halide catalyzed by a palladium (0) complex. It is an efficient method to construct porphyrin arrays with diversity structures and different properties. In this review, the emphasis has been placed upon the progress in the construction of the porphyrin arrays via Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. At last, we prospect the development trend of constructing porphyrin arrays via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
