Effects of Heteroatom Substituents on the Properties of 1,2-Dioxetanes.

Abstract

Nitrogen and sulfur-substituted dioxetanes exhibit dramatically lower activation energies for decomposition compared to the corresponding oxygen-bearing dioxetane. A mechanism involving intramolecular electron-transfer processes is proposed for the cleavage of these unstable dioxetanes. (Author)
