Popis: We have observed quadricyclane and norbornadiene radical cations in different pentasil type zeolites by EPR spectroscopy after 4 K in situ electron beam irradiation of samples in the EPR spectrometer. We report the first evidence for matrix isolation of the quadricyclane radical cation. It is stable in polar Na-ZSM-5 zeolites below 20–30 K. Formation of the bicyclo [3.2.0]-hepta-2, 6-diene radical cation is observed in both quadricyclane- and norbornadiene-loaded zeolites. The onset temperature for the formation of the bicyclo [3.2.0] hepta-2, 6-diene radical cation depends on the substrate concentration and zeolite polarity and was as low as 30 K in polar zeolites when the substrate concentration was high.
