Description

Aluminum phthalocyanine (AlPc) is a synthetic organic compound with the formula Al(Cu003csubu003e32u003c/subu003eHu003csubu003e16u003c/subu003eNu003csubu003e8u003c/subu003e)u003csubu003e2u003c/subu003e. It is a blue pigment with a high degree of colorfastness and resistance to fading. AlPc is synthesized by reacting phthalocyanine with aluminum chloride. It is used as a pigment in paints, inks, and plastics. AlPc is also used as a photoconductor in xerography. Due to its unique optical properties, AlPc is studied for its potential applications in organic solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and sensors.'
