Abstract

In the examples of the irreversible reactions, the original molecule is broken down on exposure to UV light and releases a part of the molecule to become a new product. The reverse reaction cannot occur. The triplet carbenes are formed from the bis(2,4,6-triphenyl)diazomethane derivatives and the arylnitrenes are produced from the arylazide derivatives on exposure to UV light. The unstable carbenes and nitrenes were observed after the crystal was irradiated with UV light at 80 K. Moreover, the further reaction processes were observed from the intermediate nitrenes to the final products, azobenzene derivatives or five-membered ring derivatives. The acid–base complex formation between arylazides and amine derivatives is very effective to observe the reaction processes of nitrenes.
