Title: | Molecular structure, vibrational spectra and photochemistry of 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole | Authors: | Gómez-Zavaglia, Andrea Reva, I. D. Frija, L. Cristiano, M. L. Fausto, R. |
Keywords: | 5-Mercapto-1-methyltetrazole; Matrix-isolation infrared spectroscopy; Photochemistry; N-methylcarbodiimide; 1-Methyl-1H-diazirene-3-thiol; Methyl isothiocyanate; Methyl diazene; Carbon monosulphide; Nitrogen hydride | Issue Date: | 2006 | Citation: | Journal of Molecular Structure. 786:2-3 (2006) 182-192 | Abstract: | In this work, 5-mercapto-1-methyltetrazole was studied by low temperature matrix-isolation and solid-state infrared spectroscopy, DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) calculations and photochemical methods. In the low temperature neat solid phase and isolated in an argon matrix, the compound was found to exist in the 1-methyl-1,4-dihydro-5H-tetrazole-5-thione tautomeric form. The infrared spectra of the compound were fully assigned and correlated with structural properties. In situ UV-irradiation ([lambda]>235 nm) of the matrix-isolated monomer is shown to induce different photochemical processes, all of them involving cleavage of the tetrazole ring: e.g. (1) molecular nitrogen expulsion, with production of 1-methyl-1H-diazirene-3-thiol, which is produced in two different conformers; (2) ring cleavage leading to production of methyl isothiocyanate and azide; (3) simultaneous elimination of nitrogen and sulphur with production of N-methylcarbodiimide. Following these photoprocesses, subsequent reactions occur, leading to production of methyl diazene, carbon monosulphide and nitrogen hydride. Spectroscopic evidence of the production of the above-mentioned chemical species is provided. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5089 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.molstruc.2005.08.019 | Rights: | openAccess |
