Etude de la reduction de l'oxygene sur les phtalocyanines monomeres et polymeres—III. Phtalocyanines monomeres de fer en couche mince sur l'or

Two kinds of iron phthalocyanine electrodes are prepared by vacuum deposition on gold substrates. The show remarkable differences of activity concerning O₂ reduction, and are investigated by X-ray, optical spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA) techniques. As predicted in a previous paper [3], the iron ion in the active form, is presenting a high spin d⁵ configuration.
