Recently, nicotinoyl nitrene (2) has been generated from the photodecomposition of nicotinoyl azide (1) and used as the key intermediate in probing nucleobase solvent accessibility inside cells. Following the 266 nm laser photolysis of nicotinoyl azide (1) and isonicotinoyl azide (5) in solid N2 matrices at 15 K, nicotinoyl nitrene (2) and isonicotinoyl nitrene (6) have now been identified by matrix-isolation infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Both aroyl nitrenes 2 and 6 adopt closed-shell singlet ground states stabilized by significant Nnitrene···O interactions, which is consistent with the spectroscopic analysis and calculations at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. Upon subsequent visible light irradiations, 2 (400 ± 20 nm) and 6 (532 nm) undergo rearrangement to pyridyl isocyanates 3 and 7. Further dissociation of 3 and 7 under 193 nm laser irradiation results in CO elimination and formation of ketenimines 12 and 13 via the ring opening of elusive pyridyl nitrenes 4 and 8, respectively. In addition to the IR spectroscopic identification of 8 in the triplet ground state, its reversible photointerconversion with ring expansion to diazacycloheptatetraene 9 has been observed directly. The spectroscopic identification of the nitrene intermediates was aided by calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level, and the mechanism for their generation in stepwise decompositions of the azides is discussed in the light of CBS-QB3 calculations.
