Isolation and X-ray Crystal Structure of an Electrogenerated TEMPO–N₃ Charge-Transfer Complex
Abstract
Advances in radical-based catalytic reactions have created a demand for understanding their mechanistic underpinnings. Here, we present the isolation, structural elucidation, and theoretical analysis of a catalytically relevant charge-transfer species formed between the azidyl radical and (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO). The unusual bond angles and pancake bonding between these two fragments highlight the weak bonding interactions present in this complex. This X-ray structure validates computational predictions as well as mechanistic proposals of TEMPO-mediated radical azidation reactions.
