The photochemical and photophysical behavior of several ketones includ
ed within Na X zeolites is dependent upon the adsorbed water within th
e zeolite. Results suggest that when the zeolite is dry (water free),
the guest ketones reside within supercages and when the internal struc
ture is filled with water the guest molecules are displaced to the ext
ernal surface. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
