“…For DHP/Na 6.6 ZSM-5 composites, the CS state’s lifetime ranges from 3850 min at 293 K to 8 min at 353 K, while for DHP/Na 3.4 ZSM-5, the lifetime changes from 65 min at 293 K to 3 min at 353 K. This difference reflects the key role of both the temperature and aluminum content in the DHP •+ electron recombination process . When trans -stilbene ( t -St, Scheme ) is trapped in zeolite cages, it also has a long-lived CS, one that stays for hours. ,, Within the channels of nonacidic-doped ferrierite, mordenite, and inverted mordenite zeolites [M-FER, M-MOR and M-MFI, respectively where (M = Na + , K + , Rb + and Cs + )], a photoinduced intermolecular ET reaction was observed in t -St. , In these composites, the back ET process includes direct charge recombination (CR), hole transfer (HT), and electron–hole recombination to reform the caged t -St (Figure ). …”
