Abstract: There is growing evidence of increasing complexity in the X-ray spectra of Seyfert 2 galaxies: strong photoelectric absorption, reflection hump, fluorescent iron lines and scattered soft X-ray emission are common but not universal properties of the observed objects. In particular the link between the above described components and their role in the unified Sey1/Sey2 scheme is far from being clear.
