Abstract
Porphyrins and phthalocyanines are organic dyes which can be used as highly fluorescent species in laser technology [1], in photography [1], as radiation power indicators [1], as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy of cancerous disease [2, 3]. In some papers it has been shown that porphyrins and phthalocyanines are very attractive candidates for application in photovoltaics and thus can serve as photoconverters of light to electric energy [4, 5, 6, 7].
