To elucidate the multifaceted but poorly understood chemistry of the pivotal polysulfur−nitrogen heterocycle, tetrasulfur tetranitride (S₄N₄, 1), its photochemistry was studied in Ar matrices. Thereby two primary intermediates and a secondary one (2−4) were detected, and their UV−vis and IR spectra were identified through specific interconversions of...

Photolysis of 1,3,2,4-benzodithiadiazine (1) at ambient temperature yields stable 1,2,3-benzodithiazolyl radicals. In order to reveal the mechanism of this unusual transformation, the photochemistry of 1 was studied in argon matrices using IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. A series of intermediates, including four- and five-membered heterocyclic and o-quinoid acyclic species, were characterized...

The photochemistry of p-azidoaniline was studied in argon matrices in the absence and presence of oxygen. With the help of quantum chemical calculations we were able to characterize the triplet p-aminophenylnitrene as well as the cis- and trans-p-aminophenylnitroso oxides. It was found that the latter two isomers can be interconverted by selective...
