Evidence for through-framework electron transfer in intrazeolite photochemistry. Case of Ru(bpy)3(2+) and methylviologen in novel delaminated ITQ-2 zeolite.
A sample of novel delaminated zeolite ITQ-2 containing Ru(bpy)3(2+) on the external cups and MV2+ included in the independent and not connected channels has been prepared; emission and time-resolved laser flash photolysis has shown unambigously that photoinduced electron transfer from Ru(bpy)3(2+) to MV2+ occurs through the zeolite framework.
