GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
|
Phthalocyanine is
a macrocyclic compound, 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 centrer. This
macrocyclic structure shows a striking feature as a colorant like
porphyrins (biopigments) in nature. 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). Recently
they are 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.
Alcian blue is a phthalocyanine derivative which stains bacteria and dyes histiocytes and fibroblasts in vivo. Alcian blue stains both sulfated and carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharides and sialomucins. It is used as a stain for connective tissue mucins and epithelial mucins. It is also used a gelling agent for lubricating fluids. |
