Synthesis of fourteen new complexes of meso-tetrakis（4-alkoxyphenyl） porphyrins with Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+ were presented in this paper. Meso-tetrakis （4-alkoxyphenyl） porphyrins were prepared by condensation of 4-alkoxybenzaldehydes with pyrrole, then treated with corresponding metallic acetate to produce mentioned complexes, IR, UV, 1H NMR, MS and elementary analysis were explored to confirm the structures of all theses new complexes. Characteristic spectrometric data of IR, UV, 1H NMR related to these complexes have been systematically summarized. Ten of the fourteen complexes were found to exhibit liquid crystal properties.
