Experimental proof of the photo-oxidation of iron(II)-phthalocyanine in MALDI and LDI.
Calculations yield geometric minimal energy structures and parameters of 渭-oxo-PcFe-dimers.
Higher abundance of 渭-oxo-bridged PcFe-dimers in MALDI than LDI due to energy absorption by matrix.
No proton-transfer in the MALDI process but assumed electron release of the delocalized 蟺-system.
Calculated proton affinities of PcFe.
