Quantum mechanical tunneling governs the chemical reactivity at cryogenic temperatures. Here we present near-infrared (NIR) light-induced generation of a higher energy conformer glycine imine and its H-tunneling CO bond rotamerization in solid argon (Ar), para-hydrogen (p-H2), dinitrogen (N2) The half-life for highly depends on host matrix is approximately 5 h Ar 18 both p-H2 N2. Surprisingly, experiments revealed much longer than Ar, possibly due to formation complex. Deuteration carboxylic acid group completely inhibits D-tunneling rotamerization. We performed Wentzel – Kramer Brillouin (WKB) canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) calculations, incorporating multidimensional small curvature corrections (SCT), using B3LYP/cc-pVTZ level theory. gas-phase half-lives are 11 according one-dimensional WKB model 1 CVT/SCT model, aligning well with our experimental results.

The thermal decomposition of azidoethyl methyl sulfide was studied by real-time UV-photoelectron spectroscopy (UV-PES) at temperatures ranging from 773 to 1023 K. Different ionization energies were obtained using density functional theory calculations assign UV-PES spectra. complete active space self-consistent field and multistate second-order perturbation methods used predict the formation different species present in process. N2 S-methyl-N-sulfenylethanimine are generated first step reaction is dissociation molecule into nitrene nitrogen. spin state (singlet or triplet) formed temperature-dependent. At low (T ≤ 650 K), both states with almost same probability; contrast, high ≥ 1000 singlet majority intermediate. From this nitrene, three stable products detected experiments: an imine derivative, a four-member cyclic sulfenyl derivative.

Imines play a fundamental role in organic synthesis and some of them have been detected space. However, the simplest imines are spectroscopically not well-characterized. Herein we present infrared UV/Vis spectroscopic characterization 2-iminoacetaldehyde using cryogenic matrix isolation techniques. After UV irradiation 2-azidoacetaldehyde solid argon at 3 K identified two conformers 2-iminoacetaldehyde, which can be photochemically interconverted. Deuterium labelling experiments high level ab initio coupled cluster calculations CCSD(T)/CBS theory provide further evidence for formation 2-iminoacetaldehyde.
