Irradiation of imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (3) - matrix-isolated in argon at 10 K - with a wavelength of 254 nm leads to decarboxylation and the formation of a complex between 2,3-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene and carbon dioxide (1·CO2). Upon irradiation of 2,3-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene (1) with λ = 254, 193, and 185 nm no imidazole can be detected. On the other hand flash vacuum pyrolysis of imidazole-2-carboxylic acid (3) produces imidazole and carbon dioxide. 2,3-Dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene (1) - the possible intermediate - cannot be trapped under these conditions.

With the intention of isolating 1H-azirene (8) we studied several precursors which should offer an entry into the C2H3N potential energy hypersurface.It was found that in addition to the known isomers 1, 2, 3, and 6 hydrogen cyanide N-methylide (5) - and probably aminoacetylene (4) - can be detected in an argon matrix at 10 K.No spectroscopic evidence for the formation of 1H-azirene (8) was found.In other words, the first six members 1-6 are now all identified.The elucidation of the structure of the new C2H3N species is based on the comparison of the observed IR spectra with those calculated by ab initio methods. - Key Words: Matrix isolation/ Calculations, ab initio/ Flash pyrolysis/ Photochemistry/ Hydrogen cyanide N-methylide
