Manganese(II) phthalocyanine (CAS 14325-24-7)

Manganese(II) phthalocyanine (MnPc) is a member of the phthalocyanine family, an organic compound with a chemical formula of C32H16MnN8. Its vibrant blue-green hue makes it a notable pigment. Manganese(II) phthalocyanine stands as a versatile material with diverse applications, encompassing scientific research, and catalysis. The compound′s distinctive attributes, including its photophysical and electrochemical properties and its capacity to form complexes with other molecules, have attracted extensive scientific investigation. Manganese phthalocyanine finds wide-ranging applications in scientific research due to its remarkable properties. It has served as a photosensitizer, a photocatalyst in organic synthesis, and a luminescent material in optoelectronic devices. Moreover, it has found utility as a contrast agent in medical imaging and as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays. By functioning as a photosensitizer, Manganese(II) phthalocyanine absorbs light and converts it into energy. When exposed to light, a photochemical reaction takes place, leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These ROS can subsequently interact with molecules in the surrounding environment, resulting in various effects, such as the eradication of bacteria and the alteration of proteins.
