The　electronic　absorption　spectra　of　six　different　alkoxy　substituted　phthalocyaninatozincs　in　different　solvents　have　been　determined.　It　is　found　that　a　new　band　(named　as　X　bands)　appeared　at　the　longer　wavelength　side　of　the　Q　band　in　some　solvents,　such　as　toluene　and　CH,Cl,.　The　band　is　assigned　to　the　protonation　of　phthalocyaninatozincs　by　trace　water　in　the　solvent,　and　it　is　further　proved　by　the　fluorescence　spectra　and　H-1　NMR.　By　adding　pyridine　to　the　solution　this　X　band　vanishs,　and　by　adding　water　to　the　desiccated　solvent　this　X　band　recurs.
