Donald,
The spelling you offer above is the one that was used when the subject was
discussed on the list in January, but this is now a serious matter as Ryan
only has one more crack at the spelling bee and we don't dare lead him
astray. My dictionary gives the spelling as pHthalocyanine. It's Anner's
word - maybe she can step in and offer us some enlightenment.
In any case, Good Luck, Ryan!
