23 - 106Generation, Entrapment, and Reactivity of Long-Lived OrganicCarbocations and Radical Cations Within a Supramolecular Assem-bly: Ca Y Zeolite. — Long-lived radical cations and carbocations aregenerated from diarylethenes (I). The conditions under which radical cationsand carbocations can be generated, independently of each other, within CaYzeolite are established. It is demonstrated that oxygen plays an important rolein the generation of the radical cations. — (PITCHUMANI, K.; LAKSHMI-NARASIMHAN, P. H.; PREVOST, N.; CORBIN, D. R.; RAMAMURTHY, V.;Chem. Commun.
