The products and mechanisms of the reactions of dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) with fluoranthene (FL) in aprotic solvents have been investigated.The influence of solvent polarity and temperature and the effects of addition of HNO3 on the resulting nitrofluoranthene (NFL) isomer distributions have been studied.These data compared with the NFL isomer distributions resulting from the reactions of FL with N2O5 and other nitrating agents in the gas and absorbed phases.In the gas phase and in CCl4 solution at ambient temperature, 2-NFL is the only mononitro isomer formed from the reaction of FL with N2O5.However, in more polar solvents (CH3CN and CH3NO2) and in CCl4 at subambient remperature (-15 grad C), as well as with FL in the adsorbed state, reaction with N2O5 produces only the 3-, 8-, 7-, and 1-NFL isomers.A homolyticmechanism for the formation of the 2-NFL isomer is postulated.
