DescriptionPhthalocyanine is a macrocyclic compound, It consists of four isoindole-class [(C6H4)C2N] units linked by four nitrogen atoms to form a conjugated chain, which take play in hosting various different metal ions in its centre. This macrocyclic structure like porphyrins(biopigments) is highly coloured Phthalocyanine derivatives derived from the basic compound of (C6H4C2N)4N4 are used as light-fast blue or green pigments. The hosted metals and substituted groups result in distinct colors; phthalocyanine (blue-green), copper phthalocyanine (blue), chlorinated copper phthalocyanine (green), and sulfonated copper phthalocyanine (green). They have also been involved in the study of photosensitizer chemistry or metal complex chemistry such as transition-metal complex catalyst chemistry for uniform polymerization, luminescence chemistry and spectrophotometric analysis, organic synthesis and polymerization. Phthalocyanine pigments are used in enamels, linoleum, inks, plastics, and rubber goods. Photoisomerizable phthalocyanines are used in rewritable CD or DVD printing. Some phthalocyanines such as fluoraluminium phthalocyanine are used in cancer treatment. Due to pi-electron cloud overlaps, phthalocyanines exhibit semiconductor property. Organic semiconductors have some merits of self radiation, flexibility, light weight, easy fabrication, and low cost. They have been investigated as organic electroluminescence materials for the applications in organic solar cells, biosensitizers and display devices such as OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode), OTFT(Organic Thin Film Transistor), Wearable Display, and e-paper.Phthalocyanine green is a bluish green pigment with outstanding lightfastness and stability commercially produced since 1938.Phthalocyanine blue is a bright blue pigment with outstanding properties which was in use by many modern painters such as Mondrian, Pollock, and others.
UsesPhthalocyanine is a common macrocylic blue-green dye able to form coordination complexes with many elements on the periodic table.

DefinitionChEBI: A tetrapyrrole fundamental parent that consists of four isoindole-type units, with the connecting carbon atoms in the macrocycle replaced by nitrogen.
Definitionphthalocyanine: A synthetic compoundhaving molecules with fourisoindole rings linked by –N= bridges.The structure is similar to that of theporphyrins. It can form complexeswith central metal ions. Copperphthalocyanines are used as dyes.
