Zeolite cages and cavities provide an attractive medium for carrying out novel chemical reactions. The steric and electrostatic constraints on the reactants can modify their reactivity. In this paper, we have studied the molecule Ru(bpy){sub 3}{sup 2+} within the supercages of the faujasitic zeolite Y. We have studied the ground and excited states of encapsulated Ru(bpy){sub 3}{sup 2+} by a combination of various techniques, including diffuse reflectance absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, time-resolved emission and Raman spectroscopy, and measurement of lifetimes. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy were used to study the environment around ruthenium as well as its loading in the zeolite.
