Abstract

We have used low-temperature optical spectroscopy to characterize the guest/host interaction of thiazine and oxazine dyes encapsulated in the three-dimensional pore structure of faujasite cages. The system thionine in dehydrated zeolite-Y exhibits a thermal and optical equilibrium between two spectroscopically distinguishable species. Temperature-dependent measurements allow the determination of the energy difference and barrier between these two forms as 170 cm−1 and 120 cm−1, respectively. The two forms are associated with two different locations/conformations of the chromophore within the faujasite pore structure. The degree of freedom responsible for the interconversion of the two forms is extremely sensitive to the relationship between molecular size and form of the void.
