The photochemistry of azidopyridine 1-oxides was studied using an array of glass and matrix isolation techniques. As with room temperature, the photochemistry of 4-azidopyridine 1-oxide is dominated by triplet nitrene chemistry. However, in the case of the 3-azide, matrix photolysis indicates the formation of diazabicyclo[4.

The electronic structure of dehydro-m-xylylene anion (DMX-) has been investigated by using chemical reactivity studies and electronic structure calculations. DMX- has been generated in the gas phase via the sequential reaction of trimethyl-3,5-bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)phenylsilane with F- and two molecules of F2. Reactivity and thermochemical properties of the ion indicate a phenyl-like anion (1a), consistent with theoretical predictions.
