Advance on supported/immobilized phthalocyanine metal catalysts

As the new materials and catalysts,phthalocyanine metal compounds have been studied extensively.The research progress in supported/immobilized phthalocyanine metal catalysts was reviewed.One important research direction in this field was to connect the phthalocyanine metal with polymer carrier by coordination or covalent bond in order to immobilize the phthalocyanine metal on the supporter,reduce the loss of active components and improve the catalyst performance.The catalytic and optical properties of phthalocyanine metal compounds could be greatly improved by introducing the different kinds and different numbers of axial ligands to the central metal atom in the phthalocyanine.These researches provided the basis for the new application of phthalocyanine metal.
