Dimerization of Aromatic C-Nitroso Compounds

摘要: Aromatic C-nitroso compounds (Ar–N═O) and related species have a rich chemical history, they continue to interest researchers in many fields. Among the most distinctive puzzling properties of these is their ability dimerize reversibly form azodioxy compounds. The present review subjects this intriguing phenomenon comprehensive analysis. All aspects subject are examined detail, including structures monomeric dimeric forms, mechanism dimerization, features that favor or disfavor thermodynamic kinetic factors, dimerization under specific conditions (including solution, solid state, on surfaces), special associative behavior dinitroso polynitroso By summarizing current state knowledge, promises spur further advances evergreen field chemistry, discovery new ways exploit reversible nitrosoarenes.
