Popis: The species 4-nitrenopyridine 1-oxide is known to exhibit triplet nitrene dominated chemistry to yield azo-dimer products exclusively, even at room temperature. As such, this species, and its analogue 4-nitrenoquinoline 1-oxide, are useful models to probe the mechanism of formation of azo-dimers, which is postulated to proceed by self-reaction of the nitrene or reaction of nitrene with the parent azide. A laser flash photolysis study is described where the kinetics of formation of azo-dimer were found to be most adequately modeled by competition between both mechanisms, and rate coefficients for the competing reactions were determined.
