Phthalcyanine molecule rendered with PovRay. Metal ion (red) is surrounded by nitrogen (blue) and carbon atoms (grey).

The family of phthalocyanine (Pc) includes both metall-phthalocyanines, such as FePc, ZnPc, CuPc, and MnPc, as well as metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc). The structures are almost isomorphic.
