<p>Highlights:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Polymer
complexes of chitosan with copper and cobalt phthalocyanines were obtained</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Decomposition
products of chitosan and polymer complexes with metal phthalocyanines were
determined</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pyrolysis
of chitosan and its polymer complexes with metallosulphophthalocyanines leads
to the formation of carbonizates</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The introduction
of copper phthalocyanine into the composition of the polymer complex with
chitosan leads to an increase in the content of aliphatic structures in
carbonizates, and cobalt phthalocyanine in aromatic compounds</p>
