C. Ling et Pm. Lahti, 10,10-DIMETHYLANTHRONE-2,7-DINITRENE - A PLANAR-CONSTRAINED, DOUBLY-DISJOINT HIGH-SPIN MOLECULE WITH A SINGLET GROUND-STATE, Chemistry Letters, (8), 1994, pp. 1357-1360
Photolysis of 10,10-dimethylanthrone-2,7-diazide in a glassy matrix at
77 K gives the corresponding quintet dinitrene molecule with a single
t ground state (Delta E(S-->Q) = 810 J/mol). This system shows disjoin
t exchange behavior in a case where conjugation is assured by an enfor
ced planar geometry.
