Phthalocyanines are synthetic dyes which are shown to be good photoconverters which can be applied in a photoelectrochemical cell constructed of semiconducting and metallic electrodes. By means of spectroscopic investigation (absorption ,fluorescence and photoacoustics) we have followed spectral proper- ties of phthalocyanines complexed with metals dissolved in polyvinyl alcohol solution in order to determine the pathways of deactivation of their excited states. Spectroscopic investigations were accompanied with photovoltaic/photocurrent and current-voltage characteristics of the photoelectrochemical cell with dyes. It has been shown that there is a correlation between dye fluorescence feature and dye ability to electric pho- toconversion. The comparison of new data for metallic phthalocyanines with those obtained for porphyrins is discussed.
