Synthetic faujasite type zeolites have been modified with cobalt (I1) and copper (I1) hexadecafluorophthalocyanines (MF&) by synthesizing zeolite NaX around the MFl6Pc complexes and by the template synthesis of the complexes inside NaY zeolites ion exchanged with Co2+ and Cu2+. Mid FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy as well as X-ray powder diffraction and elemental analysis provide evidence for the encapsulation of the ...
