Abstract
Zeolites, aluminosilicates, with well-defined internal architecture containing cavities, channels or cages, can accommodate a large number of organic guest molecules. Internal structure of zeolites is studded with cations, the counter-ions of the anionic framework. The internal constrained structure and the cations serve as handles for chemists to control the behaviour of guest molecules included within zeolites. Photochemical reactions carried out in zeolite are highlighted in this review.
