Infrared Spectrum of Diazirine

Abstract
The infrared spectra of diazirine, diazirine-d1, and diazirine-d2 have been obtained and analyzed in the light of their cyclic structure. In contrast to the linear isomer diazomethane, the N=N bond in diazirine behaves as a normal azo linkage and absorbs in the region of 1600 cm—1 in all three isotopic derivatives. A normal coordinate analysis, derived from a potential function previously used with cyclopropane, lends reasonable support to the assignments made.
