Representation of columnar stacking arrangements in particulate probes. The smallest cross-sectional channel dimensions for LiPc, LiPc-α-PhO, LiNc, and LiNc-BuO are shown. In general the channels are wide enough for the diffusion of free oxygen molecules (size: 2.8 Å × 3.9 Å) into the lattice. Of the probes shown, LiPc-α-PhO has the smallest bore size (4.6 Å), which may hinder fast movement of oxygen molecule.
