dc.description.abstractThe influence of the position of the methyl substituent in 1- and 2-methyl-substituted 5-aminotetrazoles on the photochemistry of these molecules is evaluated. The two compounds were isolated in an argon matrix (15 K) and the matrix was subjected to in situ narrowband UV excitation at different wavelengths, which induce selectively photochemical transformations of different species (reactants and initially formed photoproducts). The progress of the reactions was followed by infrared spectroscopy, supported by quantum chemical calculations. It is shown that the photochemistries of the two isomers, 1-methyl-(1H)-tetrazole-5-amine (la) and 2-methyl-(2H)-tetrazole-5-amine (1b), although resulting in a common intermediate diazirine 3, which undergoes subsequent photoconversion into 1-amino-3-methylcarbodiimide (H2N-N=C=N-CH3), show marked differences: formation of the amino cyanamide 4 (H2N-N(CH3)-CE equivalent to N) is only observed from the photo cleavage of the isomer la, whereas formation of the nitrile imine 2 (H2N-C-=N+=N-CH3) is only obtained from photolysis of 1b. The exclusive formation of nitrile imine from the isomer lb points to the possibility that only the 2H-tetrazoles forms can give a direct access to nitrile imines, while observation of the amino cyanamide 4 represents a novel reaction pathway in the photochemistry of tetrazoles and seems to be characteristic of 1H-tetrazoles. The structural and vibrational characterization of both reactants and photoproducts has been undertaken.
