carbonyl compounds by H atom donors may be of the same order.The chemistry of the triplet state of sym-triazine has been studied34 and was found to be similar to that of the diazabenzenes examined in this work.Abstract: Photoelectron (PES) and electronic absorption spectra of a series of N-nitrosamines have been obtained and compared with the results of C N D 0 / 2 and C N D O / S calculations; all observable PES and electronic absorption bands have been assigned. The highest occupied molecular orbital is a A orbital, and the subjacent occupied orbital is an n orbital localized on the nitroso oxygen. Bond orders, charge densities, and dipole moments determined by the calculations are presented and discussed. The calculated A charge densities indicate that the amino nitrogen is electron deficient; however, the calculated total charge densities indicate that amino nitrogen is slightly electron rich. Barriers to syn-anti isomerization of dimethylnitrosamine by means of both rotation around the N-N bond and inversion at the nitroso nitrogen have been calculated by means of the C N D O / 2 method. The inversional barrier is four times greater than the rotational barrier. The calculated rotational barrier, 18.2 kcal/mol, has the same magnitude as that of the experimentally determined barrier, 23 kcal/mol. Conformational analyses of methylphenylnitrosamine and of diisopropylnitrosamine have been made by means of the C N D O / 2 method and have been compared with the analyses of previous investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
