A spectroscopic study of the reaction of the carbene, tetrabromocyclopentadienylidene, with O2 in low temperature matrices
摘要:
The photolysis of tetrabromodiazocyclopentadiene (2) in low temperature Ar and N2 matrices generates the carbene, tetrabromocyclopentadienylidene (3). In O2-doped matrices, (3) reacts with oxygen yielding first tetrabromocyclopentadienone O-oxide (4), identification of which was aided by experiments with isotopically labelled oxygen, and then tetrabromocyclopentadienone (5) and tetrabromo-alpha-pyrone (6). The matrix uv-visible and infrared absorption spectra of tetrabromocyclopentadienone O-oxide (4) are reported.
Tetrabromocyclopentadienylidene: generation and reaction with CO in low temperature matrices
摘要:
The photolysis of tetrabromodiazocyclopentadiene (1) in low temperature argon matrices generates the carbene, tetrabromocyclopentadienylidene (2), for which both ir and uv-visible absorptions have been recorded. In argon matrices doped with carbon monoxide or in pure carbon monoxide matrices, the carbene reacts with CO giving the ketene, tetrabromofulvenone (4). The carbene did not show any tendency to dimerize at temperatures up to the point where matrix boil-off occurred.
