The syntheses, direct spectroscopic observation, and kinetics of thermaldecomposition of the persistent 1, 1-diazenes, Ar-(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidyl) nitrene (4) and Ar-(2, 2, 5, 5-tetramethylpyrrolidyl) nitrene (5) are reported. The electronic absorption spectrum of 4 at-78 C reveals a structured absorption for the n, ir* transition: Xmax= 543 nm, X0> 0= 620 nm, and emax= 18±3 in Et20; Xmax= 541 nm and Xoi0= 610 nm in CH2C12; Xmax= 526 nm and Xo, o= 592 nm in i-PrOH. The electronic absorption spectrum of 1, 1-diazene 5 at-78 C reveals a structured absorption band for the n, ir* transition: Xmax= 497 nm and Xqo= 572 nm and tmax= 20±3 in CH2Cl2; Xmax= 487 nm and X00= 552 nm in f-PrOH. The infrared spectrum of 4 shows a strong absorption at 1595 cm'1 (R214N= 14N stretch) and provides evidence that 1, 1-diazene 4 has considerable N= N double-bond character in the ground state. The infrared spectrum of 5 shows a strong absorption at 1638 cm'1 (R214N= 14N stretch). The unimolecular rate of thermal decomposition of 4 is sensitive to solvent, the rate increasing with decreasing solvent polarity (k^= 1.0, 1.7, 4.8 in THF, Et20, and hexane, respectively). The activation parameters for the unimolecular fragmentation of 1, 1-diazene 4 are as follows: log A= 11.6• 0.5 and£ a= 16.9±0.7 kcal mol'1 in hexane; log A= 13.7±0.3 and£ a= 20.0±0.4 kcal mol'1 inEt20; log A= 13.6±0.3 and£ a= 20.1±0.4 kcal mol'1 in THF. The activation parameters for the bimolecular dimerization of 4 are log A= 3.8±0.7 and£ a= 6.4±0.9 kcal mol'1 in CDC13. The unimolecular rate of thermal decomposition of 5 is sensitive to solvent, the rate increasing with decreasing solvent polarity, kni= 1.0, 2.4, and5.1 for THF, Et20, and hexane, respectively. The activation parameters for the unimolecular fragmentationof 1, 1-diazene 5 are as follows: log A= 10.9±0.3 and£ a= 16.8±0.5 kcal mol'1 in hexane; log A= 12.4±0.4 and£ a= 19.0±0.6 kcal mol'1 in Et20; log A= 12.1±0.3 and£ a= 19.1±0.4 kcal mol'1 inTHF. At-41.1 C the bimolecular rate constant for the dimerization of 5 is 8.5 X 10'5 L/(mol s), 90 times slower than that found for 4. The change from a six-membered to a five-membered ring 1, 1-diazene causes a shift to higherenergy for the n, ir* transition and a shift to increased wavenumber (cm'1) for the N= N stretching frequency, not unlike that of the isoelectronicketones, tetramethylcyclohexanone and tetramethylcyclopentanone. Similar£ a values for the unimolecular thermal fragmentationof 4 and 5 may indicate the strain energy difference between 4 and 5 is also small. An approximate value of 30.5 kcal mol'1 for the heat of formation of the 1, 1-diazene 5 is estimated, indicating the1, 1-diazene 5has a higher heat of formation than the c/vl, 2-diazene isomerby 20 kcal mol'1.
