Abstract:
New sulfoximine- and phenanthrene-based photochemical precursors to oxynitrenes have been developed. These precursors have been used to examine the chemistry and spectroscopy of oxynitrenes. The first EPR spectra of oxynitrenes are reported and are consistent with their triplet ground states. Additional support for the triplet ground state of oxynitrenes is provided by trapping and reactivity studies, nanosecond time-resolved IR investigations, and computational studies.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
