A phthalocyanine compound (1) which is produced by reacting a phthalocyanine compound (3), which does not contain organometal residual groups, with a Wilsmyer complex and a compound having a constituent such as formanilide and then by reacting with ferrocene carboxylate amide and purifying it from the resulting mixture, is new. The phthalocyanine compound (1) is represented by formula (I); [Image] M : two hydrogen atoms, divalent metal atom, trivalent metal atom having one substituent, tetravalent metal having two substituents or oxymetal ; L 1>- L 4>groups represented by (a), (b) and (c); X : alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, aryloxy or arylthio group ; R : H, 1-6C alkyl, 6-10C aryl group ; A : carbonyl, thiocarbonyl, sulfone, sulfine or carboimide group ; Y : residue group of a metal compound ; Z : H atom, NO 2group or halogen atom At least one of L 1>- L 4>is (a) or (b).
