General description

Zinc (II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) complexes show photosensitizing properties. Phthalocyanines show significant Π−Π interactions and easy formation of H aggregates.

Application

Zinc phthalocyanine finds general applications in industry (catalysts, photoconductors etc) and biomedical (photodynamic therapy, PDT). ZnPc may be used to photooxidise cyclohexane. A study reports functionalization of polymer membrane with ZnPc.

Understanding and Successfully Applying Materials for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

While dye sensitization as the basis for color photography has been accepted for a very long time,1 attempts to use this principle for the conversion of solar light to electricity generally had resulted only in very low photocurrents, below 100 nA/cm
