Structure and photochemistry of matrix-isolated monothioacetylacetone
Abstract
Monothioacetylacetone has been shown, by i.r. spectroscopy of the matrix-isolated species, to consist primarily of two substances which are photointer-convertible; namely the chelated enethiol (Z)-4-mercapto-pent-3-en-2-one (2) and its less stable s-trans-conformer (4).
