N2 - Water treatment and disinfection are critical factors in ensuring a safe and sustainable water supply. Phthalocyanines (Pcs), a class of versatile and robust organic compounds, have garnered significant attention for their application in various water treatment processes. This review paper offers a groundbreaking investigation of Pc-enabled technologies within the domain of water treatment applications. The core aim of this review is to meticulously analyze the chemical and optical properties of Pcs, elucidate their photosensitization mechanism and establish the crucial connection between their chemical structure and photodynamic efficacy. The various modes of Pcs application in water treatment processes - whether in solution, immobilized, or integrated into water treatment membranes - emphasizing the strategies for their integration and effectiveness in disinfection and decontamination has also been extensively investigated. Moreover, it sheds light on the latest advancements and challenges in the field, providing valuable insights into future research for employing Pcs in environmentally sustainable water treatment methods.
