Radiolytic Generation of Organic Radical Cations in Zeolite Na-Y

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100374a069

Several examples of radiolytically generated organic radical cations in zeolite Na-Y are illustrated.EPR studies of organic radical cations can be carried out in a wide range of temperatures up to room temperature.In every case, monomeric radical cations were observed.Comparison to previous work in freon and xenon matrices is made, illustrating that in the zeolite Na-Y there is considerably weaker radical cation-host interaction.A mechanism of radiolytic generation of radical cations in zeolite Na-Y is proposed.
