Abstract
Abstract 2,3-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene (DBO) was used as a long-lived fluorescent probe in zeolites (NaY, Na-mordenite, Na-ZSM-5, H-ZSM-5) and related oxide materials (all silica MCM-41, silica, silica–alumina, γ-alumina). The photophysical properties are dominated by a hydroxylic environment, caused by the inorganic framework and co-adsorbed water. The quenching of DBO by oxygen was strongly dependent on the type of zeolite. In ZSM-5 zeolites, the fluorescence decays were not monoexponential in the presence of oxygen (air).
