The EPR absorption of furan compounds adsorbed on CuY zeolite was studied. With the adsorption of furan on CuY a new high field having a width of 8 gauss and g-factor of 2.002 appeared in EPR spectrum, while the original signal of Cu(Ⅱ) decreased. When 2-methylfuran was adsorbed on Cu(15)Y a new absorption band with a hyperfine structure appeared. With the increase of the degree of Cu(Ⅱ) ion exchange the resolution of the hyperfine structure became poor. The appearance of the new band was interpreted in terms of the formation of a charge transfer complex between Cu(Ⅱ) ion and the furan ring.
