Effects of ionizing radiation on cyanamide and dimethylcyanamide

  • 1. Leicester Univ. (United Kingdom). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

Irradiation of the pure title compounds and a range of dilute solid solutions produces a range of matrix-isolated radicals, identified by their EPR spectra. These include electron-loss centres, HNradicalCN and (Me2NradicalCN)+,and electron capture centres HNC(H)N.- and Me2N.. The former is a tautomer of the parent anion and the latter is formed by loss of CN-. In aqueous alkali glasses, the radical anion .N2CO3- is thought to be formed by addition of O.- to CN22-.
