The photochemistry of 2-iodo-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl azide (7d) has been investigated in argon and neon matrices at 4 K, and the products characterized by IR and EPR spectroscopy. The primary photochemical step is loss of a nitrogen molecule and formation of phenyl nitrene 1d. Further irradiation with UV or visible light results in mixtures of 1d with azirine 5d', ketenimine 6d', nitreno radical 2d, and azirinyl radical 9. The relative amounts of these products strongly depend on the matrix and on the irradiation conditions. Nitreno radical 2d with a quartet ground state was characterized by EPR spectroscopy. Electronic structure calculations in combination with the experimental results allow for a detailed understanding of the properties of this unusual new type of organic high-spin molecules.
