Abstract

It was shown recently on the basis of DFT calculations (NP Gritsan and EA Pritchina, Mendeleev Commun., 2001, 11, 94) that the singlet states of aroylnitrenes undergo tremendous stabilization due to an extra N–O bonding interaction. To test experimentally the multiplicity and the structure of the lowest state of benzoylnitrenes we performed a study of their photochemistry in Ar matrices at 12 K. Formation of two species was observed on ...
