Since the discovery of organic azides by Peter Grieß more than 140 years ago, numerous
syntheses of these energy‐rich molecules have been developed. In more recent times in …

Seit der Entdeckung der organischen Azide vor über einhundertvierzig Jahren durch Peter
Grieß wurde eine Reihe von Synthesen für diese energiereichen Moleküle entwickelt. In …

Arylnitrenes are very reactive and short-lived intermediates commonly generated by
decomposition of aryl azides. Although other arylnitrene precursors are known1 and their …

Tetrazolo [1, 5-a] quinazoline (9) is converted to 2-azidoquinazoline (10) on sublimation at
200° C and above, and the azide− tetrazole equilibrium is governed by entropy. 2 …

Organic azides are widely used in synthetic organic chemistry. 1–4 An important application
of the photochemistry of organic azides is the photoaffinity labeling of biopolymers. This …

Triplet carbenes react with molecular oxygen with rates that approach diffusion control to
carbonyl O-oxides, whereas triplet nitrenes react much slower. For investigating the reaction …

Ar matrix photolysis of 1-and 2-naphthyl azides 3 and 4 at 313 nm initially affords the singlet
naphthyl nitrenes, 1 1 and 1 2. Relaxation to the corresponding lower energy, persistent …

Carbenes, neutral divalent carbon species (1), have been investigated extensively over the
years. 1, 2 Besides their important roles in organic synthesis, reaction mechanisms, and …

The 355 nm time-of-flight negative ion photoelectron spectra of (o-, m-, and p-chlorophenyl)
nitrene radical anions are reported. Electron affinities are obtained from the photoelectron …

Addressing critical aspects of computational modeling in photochemistry, Molecular
Methods in Photochemistry is designed to familiarize researchers and practitioners with …
