Abstract

The reactive intermediates N, N-di (4-chlorophenyl) nitrenium ion and N, N-di (4- bromophenyl) nitrenium ion were generated through photolysis of the corresponding N- amino (2, 4, 6,-collidinium) ions. The behavior of these diarylnitrenium ions was characterized by laser flash photolysis, analysis of the stable photoproducts, and ab initio calculations with density functional theory. The latter predict these species to have singlet ...
