Abstract
Electron spin resonance studies have revealed the formation of superoxide ions O2 attached to the zeolitic cations when the Type Y zeolites (Linde's) are irradiated by γ and x rays in the presence of oxygen. A second unique color center was found when Na–Y zeolite was irradiated in vacuum. This center is attributed to an electron trapped within a large cavity shared among four Na+ ions.
