Carbenes and Nitrenes: Recent Developments in Fundamental Chemistry.
Abstract
There has been significant progress in the direct observation of carbenes, nitrenes, and many other reactive intermediates in recent years due to the application of matrix photolysis and flash vacuum pyrolysis linked with matrix isolation at cryogenic temperatures. Our understanding of singlet and triplet states has improved through the interplay of spectroscopy and computations. Bistable carbenes and nitrenes as well as many examples of tunneling have been discovered. Numerous rearrangements and fragmentations have been documented. This minireview aims to give an overview of some of these developments but will not generally cover laser flash photolysis and chemical reactions in liquid solution.
