The chemistry of (1,4‐diphenyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐5‐yl)(phenyl)carbenes (1T), originally reported by Smith et al., was reinvestigated by using modern spectroscopic methods as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the results were compared with that observed for analogous diphenylcarbene (1H) to clarify the role of triazole group in diarylcarbene chemistry. Product analysis indicated that1Tgave two intramolecular cyclization products (2and3) formed as a result of a formal attack of carbene on the phenyl rings at 1‐ and 4‐positions of the triazole ring. The results were closely similar to that observed for1H. The behaviors of triplet carbene31Twere directly monitored not only by electron spin resonance (ESR) and UV‐Vis spectroscopic methods in rigid matrix at low temperature but also by laser flash photolysis in solution at room temperature and compared with those observed for31H. Whereas the lifetime of31Twas some 2 orders of magnitude longer than that of31H, the reactivity of31Ttoward typical triplet trapping reagents was greater than that of31H. In order to elucidate these rather conflicting observations, geometries and relative energies of carbenes1Tand1Has well as species involved in the reactions leading to the final products were calculated by the DFT method. The results are interpreted as indicating that31Hdecays by participating in the reaction of upper‐lying11Hmuch more easily than31T. The difference in the reactivity toward external trapping reagents is explicable by taking into account the difference in steric crowdedness around carbene center between the two.
