摘要: A series of polybrominated diphenylcarbenes (DPCs) are generated by irradiation the corresponding precursor diazomethanes, and their reactivities investigated means low-temperature spectroscopies as well laser flash photolysis. Triplet bis(2,4,6-tribromophenyl)carbene was shown to decay undergoing dimerization have a half-life 1 s in degassed benzene solution at room temperature, some 6 orders magnitude longer-lived than parent DPC. Anomalous effects para substituents on stability triplet noted. Thus, while replacement 4-bromine group with methyl resulted sharp decrease lifetime, introduction tert-butyl dramatic increase lifetime; bis(2,6-dibromo-4-tert-butylphenyl)carbene 16 temperature. Attempts these DPCs buttressing m-bromine synergetic effect bromine groups also described.
