Copper(II) Phthalocyanine #147-14-8
Copper(II) phthalocyanine, commonly referred to as CuPc, is used as an electron donor in combination with fullerene-C60 or phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) in vacuum-deposited organic photovoltaics (OPV). Power conversion efficiencies of approximately 1% have been achieved, which can be further increased to around 4% when using a pentacene-doped CuPc layer.

Product Usage
Copper(II) phthalocyanine is widely applied in research on photosensitizer chemistry for uniform polymerization, luminescence studies, spectrophotometric analysis, organic synthesis, and polymerization. It is also used as a pigment in enamels, linoleum, inks, plastics, and rubber products. Additionally, photoisomerizable phthalocyanines are employed in rewritable CD and DVD printing applications.
