Cobalt phthalocyanine  (Synonyms: Cobalt(II) phthalocyanine; Cobaltous phthalocyanine; Phthalocyanine cobalt complex)

Cobalt phthalocyanine is a catalyst of redox reaction, catalyzes aerobic regenerations of aldehydes and ketones from aldoximes and ketoximes. Cobalt phthalocyanine can be used in the development of electrocatalysts^[1][2].
