A zeolite which contains a metal and an oxygen-activated metal complex, wherein the oxygen-activated metal complex is included in a unit cell of the zeolite; and a gas-decomposing agent which comprises the above zeolite. The above oxygen-activated metal complexes include a phthalocyanine metal complex, bis(salicylidene)-ortho-phenylenediamidinato metal complex and a metal complex having a cyclic tetra-pyrrole moiety as a ligand, and metals in the above oxygen-activated metal complex include silver, copper, zinc, platinum, palladium, cobalt, iron, manganese and ruthenium. The above gas-decomposing agent can decompose a gas or the like which is harmful to human health or is felt uncomfortable by a human being, at an ordinary temperature in a sustainable manner. |
