On the Solvent Dependence of cis-Diazene Inversion

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00032a006

Solvent dependence of nonradical inversion rates of cis-diazenes cannot be due to viscosity variation because these rates are too slow.For cis-azoadamantane, in a variety of aromatic and nonaromatic hydrocarbons, they show a correlation with solvent internal pressure giving an approximate activation volume of +7 cm³/mol.
