Lead(II) Phthalocyanine (PbPc), also known as phthalocyanine lead, is a salt consisting of a lead ion and Pc2−, the conjugate base of pythalocyanine. It is a organolead dye and bright purple powder.[1][2] It's also used as a near infared light absorber for photodetectors.[3] It has a unique structural feature which is called and resembles a "shuttle cock."[3]
