✦ Synopsis


Contact charge transfer (CCT) complexes of trans-stilbenes with oxygen molecules were formed in zeolite NaY. Excitation of the CCT bands by a 313-nm wavelength light produced the corresponding benzaldehydes through an electron transfer reaction to generate stilbene cation radicals and superoxide anion radical. Irradiation of the CCT complexes by a 254-nm wavelength light, by contrast, gave rise to isomerization and formation of phenanthrene without yielding any oxygenation products, as in the photoreaction under oxygen in solution.
