Abstract

When C60 is introduced into the Fe3+-exchanged zeolite Y sample, an intense ESR signal at g = 2.0027 is observed. The ESR signal is due to the formation of C60 radical cation (C60•+), since the signal intensity increases with an increase in the amount of Fe3+ loaded in the zeolite. Addition of perylene into the C60•+-zeolite system results in electron transfer from perylene to C60•+ to produce perylene radical cation accompanied by the disappearance of C60•+.
