Photochemistry and magnetic resonance spectroscopy as probes of supramolecular structures and migration pathways of organic molecules and radicals adsorbed on zeolites

Turro, Nicholas J.; Lei, Xuegong; Li, Wei; McDermott, Ann E.; Abrams, Lloyd; Ottavianai, M. Francesca; Beard, Hege Støgård

Magnetic resonance, surface area measurements and computational techniques have been integrated to elucidate the supramolecular photochemistry of two isomeric ketones adsorbed on two MFI zeolites (silicalite and ZSM-5) and to demonstrate that common factors proportional to the available external surface area operate to determine the measured parameters in each case.
