Abstract

ICN was deposited at low temperatures in rare-gas matrices and irradiated by UV light at energies ≈ 1.5 eV above its gas-phase dissociation limit. A new infrared band, red-shifted by about 120 cm −1 with respect to the CN stretch band of ICN appeared immediately, and reached its maximum amplitude in 1–2 min. The overall conversion of ICN to products was less than 5%. The new band is tentatively assigned to INC formed by photoisomerization. The low overall yield is due to re-formation of ICN as the nascent INC cools down.
