Phthalocyanine (Cat.No:I008756) is an intensely blue-green-coloured aromatic macrocyclic compound that is widely used in dyeing. Phthalocyanine can be used as an agent for Photodynamic Therapy and Imaging. Phthalocyanines form coordination complexes with most elements of the periodic table. These complexes are also intensely colored and also are used as dyes or pigments.
