Abstract
Silver cationic clusters formed in γ-irradiated AgCs-rho zeolites in hydrated and dehydrated forms have been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry. It was found that tetrameric silver clusters, Ag 3+4 in dehydrated zeolites and Ag 2+4 in hydrated samples, are stabilized at room temperature. Tetrameric silver is trapped inside octagonal prism of zeolite framework and does not show any noticeable decay as far as samples are evacuated.
