Abstract
The three isomeric pyridyl radicals 2a–c were synthesised using flash vacuum pyrolysis in combination with matrix isolation and characterised by infrared spectroscopy. The IR spectra are in good agreement with spectra calculated using density functional theory methods. The reaction of the pyridyl radicals 2 with molecular oxygen leads to the formation of the corresponding pyridylperoxy radicals 3a–c. The peroxy radicals 3 are photolabile, and irradiation results in syn–anti isomerisation of 3a and 3b and ring expansion of all three isomers of 3.
