The complexes of formula [Fe(Pc)(diazole)(2)]. nH(2)O (Pc = phthalocyaninat
o dianion; diazole = pyrazole, 3(5)-methylpyrazole, indazole and 1-phenylim
idazole) have been prepared and characterized. The Mossbauer spectra of the
bisadducts of [Fe(Pc)] with diazoles show values of isomer shift close to
those of the corresponding complexes with pyridines, but somewhat smaller v
alues of quadrupole splitting. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
