  • Patent number: 5350844
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a more perfect crystalline form of the Type I polymorph of titanyl phthalocyanine which comprises dissolving a precursor titanyl phthalocyanine Type I in a solution of trihaloacetic acid and alkylene chloride; adding the resultant solution to a solvent thereby enabling precipitation of Type X titanyl phthalocyanine; separating the titanyl phthalocyanine Type X from the solution; followed by a first washing with an organic solvent and a second washing with water; slurrying the resulting Type X titanyl phthalocyanine in an organic solvent enabling conversion of said Type X to Type IV titanyl phthalocyanine; and thereafter, subjecting the Type IV titanyl phthalocyanine obtained to treatment with an organic solvent to enable said crystalline form of titanyl phthalocyanine Type I.
