Direct Observation of a Photoinduced Nonstabilized Nitrile Imine Structure in the Solid State

Abstract: We report the direct observation of a bent geometry for a non-stabilized nitrile imine in a metal-coordination crystal. The photoinduced tetrazole ring rupture to release N2 appears to depend on the size of voids around the N3-N4 bond in the crystal lattice. We further observed the selective formation of 1,3-addition product when a reactive nitrile imine was photo-generated in water. Taken together, the bent nitrile imine geometry agrees with the 1,3-dipolar structure, a transient reactive species that mediate… Show more

“…The MS 2 spectrum of Compound 3 is collected in Figure 1 showing the molecular ion at m/z 938.9 and the fullerene radical ion at m/z 720.0 together with the proposed mechanism for this elimination. Although there are different proposed structural possibilities to describe the nitrile imine, we use the 1,3-dipolar structure because recent investigations demonstrate that the nitrile imine is the major structure involved in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions [39]. No differences were found for the alkyl substituents attached at the C3 position of the heterocyclic ring.…”

“…When tetrazoles are irradiated with UV light, a nitrile imine is formed which can subsequently complete a cycloaddition with olefins present in situ (Zheng et al, 2009). After cycloaddition, a fluorescent pyrazoline is produced that can be used as a tag to monitor product formation.…”

“…Sufficient elasticity of voids can also be beneficial [6][7][8]. The occurrence of a photochemical reaction was explained in some cases by the analysis of size and shape of voids: a big void promoted the reaction [9][10][11], whereas one that is too small hindered it [12].…”
