Phthalocyanine electrodes are finding use for O/sub 2/ reduction, and results have been previously reported showing the existence of an anodic wave at about 0.6 V vs H/Hg/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ in the cyclic voltammorgram of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) film electrodes. Results of investigations by rotating-disc electrode and Raman spectroscopy indicating that this wave is associated with the anodic dissolution of the FePc films are presented in this paper. The Raman spectroscopic examination of the film in-situ indicated that the FePc was dissolving; because at 0.8 V, the entire band due to FePc disappears. The solution appearance did not indicate the presence of hydrated Fe ions, so it is assumed that the FePc film is irreversibly anodically dissolved and passes into solution either as a solvated cation or other soluble entity. 6 references, 3 figures.
