Phthalocyanines (Pcs) have many uses in advanced technology. In recent years, the applications of MPc complexes have expanded to fields such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) photodetectors, photoconductive agents in photocopiers, and electroca…

Organic dyes and complexes such as phthalocyanines (Pcs) may show photocatalytic properties against to photocatalytic degradation of pollutants [1]. The use of metallo phthalocyanines as organic photocatalysts in solution derives from their…

The first phthalocyanine compound in the class of macrocyclic compounds was obtained as a dark blue colored byproduct during the synthesis of o-cyanobenzamide from acetic acid and phthalimide in 1907 [1]. 20 years later, the first copper me…
