Mossbauer studies of the interaction of oxygen with solid beta-Fe-II-phthalocyanine

Oxygen has been diffused into the interplanar spacings of solid beta-(FePc)-Pc-II at relatively low temperatures in the dry state and in aqueous suspensions. A variety of oxygen adducts are stabilized in the solid matrix, which do not exist in solution. Tentative assignment of species have been made with the help of Mossbauer and IR spectroscopy.
