Abstract

Energy barriers associated with rotation of nitroso groups in monomeric nitrosobenzene and eleven monomeric substituted nitrosobenzenes in solution have been measured by total 1H NMR bandshape analysis. ΔG[hair space] ‡ (298.15 K) values for the rotations are in the range 31–41 kJ mol–1. The values for 4-substituted compounds correlate well with the Hammett σp+ parameter for the substituent. The experimental energy barrier for nitrosobenzene is compared with theoretical calculations. Monomer–dimer equilibria of these compounds in solution have been investigated, with ΔH[hair space][circle, cut, short horiz bar], ΔS[hair space][circle, cut, short horiz bar] and ΔG[hair space][circle, cut, short horiz bar] data calculated for the dissociation of both Z- and E- azodioxy dimers to monomers. Kinetic data, based on time-dependent and two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy (2D-EXSY) NMR measurements, have been obtained for the dissociation of 3-methylnitrosobenzene and 3,5-dimethylnitrosobenzene dimers. Energy profiles for the ground and transition states of both dimers and monomers (including exchange between both their rotameric forms) are discussed.
