研究目的
Investigating the spectroscopic characterization, photoisomerization, and thermal decomposition of chloro- and dichloro-methylsulfonyl nitrenes.
研究成果
The study successfully generated and characterized triplet ground-state sulfonyl nitrenes CH2ClS(O)2N and CHCl2S(O)2N, along with the novel dichloromethylnitrene CHCl2N. Photolytic rearrangements to N-sulfonlyamines and S-nitroso compounds were observed, while thermal decomposition led to various fragmentation products. Quantum chemical calculations supported the experimental findings and provided insights into the mechanisms. This work advances the understanding of sulfonyl nitrene chemistry and offers a method for generating atmospherically relevant radicals.
研究不足
The study is limited to cryogenic matrix conditions and specific thermal decomposition temperatures; extrapolation to other conditions may not be valid. Some species were tentatively identified due to weak IR signals or overlapping bands. The inherent instability and high reactivity of nitrenes pose challenges for direct observation in solution.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
UV laser photolysis (193 and 266 nm) and thermal decomposition (flash vacuum pyrolysis at 600 K and 700 K) of sulfonyl azides CH2ClS(O)2N3 and CHCl2S(O)2N3 were used to generate nitrenes. Matrix-isolation IR and EPR spectroscopy in solid N2 (10 K) and glassy toluene (5 K) matrices were employed for characterization. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level supported the experimental findings.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared by reacting chloromethylsulfonyl chloride and dichloromethylsulfonyl chloride with sodium azide in acetonitrile. 15N-labeled samples were prepared using 1-15N sodium azide.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
ArF excimer laser (193 nm), Nd3+:YAG laser (266 nm), UV lamp (365 nm), FT-IR spectrometer (Bruker 70 V), EPR spectrometer, glass vessels, cold U-traps, KBr beam splitter, MCT detector, Rh-plated copper block matrix support, aluminum oxide tube, tantalum wire, acetonitrile, sodium azide, chloromethylsulfonyl chloride, dichloromethylsulfonyl chloride, N2 gas, toluene.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Azides were synthesized and purified. Gas samples mixed with N2 were deposited onto a cold matrix support. Photolysis was performed with lasers and UV lamp. Pyrolysis was conducted using a heated tube. IR and EPR spectra were recorded before and after irradiations.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
IR spectra were analyzed for band positions and isotopic shifts. EPR spectra were used to determine zero-field splitting parameters. Quantum chemical calculations (DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd)) were used for geometry optimizations, vibrational frequency analysis, and energy profile calculations.
