A phthalocyanine compound is provided which exhibits particularly high transmittance to a visible ray, offers a highly efficient cut of a near infrared ray, excels in the ability to effect selective absorption in a near infrared region, excels in the solubility in a solvent, excels in the compatibility with a resin, and excels in heat resistance, light resistance, and weatherability, a method for the production thereof, a near infrared absorbable dye using the same, and a heat ray shielding material, a plasma display grade filter and a near infrared absorbable material formed thereof. The phthalocyanine compound of this invention is represented by the following formula (1): <CHEM> wherein Z2, Z3, Z6, Z7, Z10, Z11, Z14, and Z15 independently stand for SR<1>, OR<2>, or a halogen atom, provided that at least one of them stands for SR<1> or OR<2>; Z1, Z4, Z5, Z8, Z9, Z12, Z13, and Z16 independently stand for NHR<3> , SR<1>, OR<2>, or a halogen atom, provided that at least one of them stands for NHR<3> and at least four of them stand for OR<2>; a plurality of R<1>, R<2>, and R<3>, independently to each other, stand for a substituted or non-substituted phenyl group, a substituted or non-substituted aralkyl group, or a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and M stands for a nonmetal, a metal, a metal oxide, or a metal halide. |
