Description

Sodium Phthalocyanine is a versatile organometallic compound and a key derivative of phthalocyanine, a class of macrocyclic compounds known for their exceptional stability and intense coloration. This sodium salt form is particularly valued for its solubility and reactivity, making it a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of advanced functional materials. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the pigments and dyes, organic electronics, and chemical research sectors for developing products with specific optical and electronic properties.

Application

• Pigment and Dye Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor for manufacturing high-performance phthalocyanine pigments and dyes, prized for their brilliant blue/green shades, lightfastness, and chemical stability.
• Organic Semiconductor Material: Used in the research and development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and field-effect transistors (OFETs) due to its favorable electron-transport properties.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating metal phthalocyanine complexes, which are used as catalysts in various organic oxidation and reduction reactions.
• Chemical Sensor Development: Employed in the fabrication of sensitive layers for chemical sensors that detect gases or specific analytes based on colorimetric or electrical changes.
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Research: Investigated as a potential photosensitizer precursor in biomedical research for cancer treatment applications.
• Specialty Coatings and Inks: Incorporated into formulations for high-durability coatings, security inks, and specialty printing where unique optical properties are required.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Phthalocyanine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and meets the high standards required for advanced material synthesis. Key parameters such as purity, metal content, and sulfonation degree are controlled. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
