The photochemical reaction of acetophenone and cyclohexane in the zeolite NaY occurs by combination of the geminate radical pairs to give products that reveal a significant amount of rotational fluidity, which was also documented by intermolecular nuclear dipolar interaction measurements using cross polarization 13C NMR (CPMAS) experiments.
