Description

Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) is a synthetic organic pigment with a deep blue color. It is produced by reacting phthalic anhydride with a copper salt, such as copper(II) chloride, in the presence of a catalyst like urea. CuPc is a versatile material with a wide range of applications, including its use as a dye in paints, inks, and plastics. It is also used in organic electronics, solar cells, and sensors due to its unique optical and electrical properties. CuPc is a good conductor of electricity and absorbs light efficiently, making it suitable for applications such as transistors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photovoltaic devices. Furthermore, CuPc is known to have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which have attracted research interest in its potential for medical applications. The study of CuPc continues to be driven by its potential in various technological and biomedical fields.'
