Laser flash photolysis study of phenylcarbene, o-tolylcarbene and mesitylcarbene

Laser flash photolysis (LFP, XeCl, 308 nm, 20 ns) of phenyldiazomethane (PDM), o-tolydiazomethane (TDM) and mesitydiazomethane (MDM) produces phenylcarbene (PC), o-tolycarbene (TC) and mesitylcarbene (MSC), respectively. Transient spectra of PC and TC cou
