A. Marcinek et Ms. Platz, DEDUCTION OF THE ACTIVATION PARAMETERS FOR RING EXPANSION AND INTERSYSTEM CROSSING IN FLUORINATED SINGLET PHENYLNITRENES, Journal of physical chemistry, 97(49), 1993, pp. 12674-12677
The ratio (k(exp) + k(isc))/k(PYR) was determined as a function of tem
perature for the singlet nitrenes derived from pentafluoro, 2,6-difluo
ro, and 2,4,6-trifluorophenyl azide where k(PYR), k(exp), and k(isc) a
re the absolute rate constants of reaction of the nitrene with pyridin
e, ring expansion, and intersystem crossing, respectively. Activation
parameters were deduced for the three singlet nitrene processes.
