Excited State Chemistry of Halogen Azides.
Abstract
A three year program directed towards understanding the behavior of excited halogen azides in photochemical system and the role of azide intermediates in elementary chemical reaction has been completed. Experiments performed are divided into four tasks as follows: (1) Chemiluminescence flow tube studies and halogen atom-azide molecule reactions, (2) UV and vacuum UV absorption spectroscopy of the C1N3, (3) real-time, laser-initiated studies, and (4) matrix isolation studies of the F + HN3 reaction. The data obtained included rates of halogen atom-azide molecule reactions, mechanisms for the formation of nitrenes in the singlet states including the nature of intermediates operative in these flames, absorption spectra of C1N3, and molecular constants for the singlet states (b prime sigma and a prime delta) of Nc1 and NBr.
