Iron(II) Phthalocyanine

Iron(II) phthalocyanine is a compound that is used for wastewater treatment. It has been shown to have physiological activities, such as the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi in tissue culture. Iron(II) phthalocyanine can be used to remove organics from water, with a kinetic data of 1.2 x 10-3 mol/L/min and a synergic effect with other compounds. The molecule contains two methyl ketones on each side, which are connected by disulfide bonds. The molecule also contains nitrogen atoms and has a redox potential of -0.256 volts. Iron(II) phthalocyanine adsorbs to the surface of another compound through an adsorption mechanism, which may include hydrogen bonding or ion exchange.
