Matrix Isolation and Computational Study of the Photochemistry of 1,3,2,4-Benzodithiadiazine
文摘
Photolysis of 1,3,2,4-benzodithiadiazine (1) at ambient temperature yields stable 1,2,3-benzodithiazolyl radicals.In order to reveal the mechanism of this unusual transformation, the photochemistry of 1 was studied inargon matrices using IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. A series of intermediates, including four- and five-membered heterocyclic and o-quinoid acyclic species, were characterized spectroscopically with the help ofquantum chemical calculations. With selective irradiation, these intermediates can be mutually interconvertedas well as converted back to the starting compound 1.
