The dynamics of pyramidal nitrogen inversion can be controlled by reversible redox switching in trans-2,3-diphenylaziridines bearing a suitable 1,4-naphthaquinone substituent. In the reduced form, an intramolecular H-bond significantly raises the inversion barrier slowing this molecular motion by >50-fold. The experimental findings are further supported by DFT calculations.
在带有合适的1,4-萘醌取代基的反式-2,3-二苯基氮杂环丙烷中,金字塔形氮翻转的动力学可以通过可逆的氧化还原切换来控制。在还原形式下,分子内氢键显著提高了翻转势垒,使这种分子运动减慢了50倍以上。密度泛函理论计算进一步支持了实验结果。
