We have studied the matrix photolysis of 2,4,6-triazido-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric triazide, 1). Stepwise generation of the corresponding mononitrene, dinitrene, and trinitrene was observed by matrix IR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The generated species were identified by comparison of their matrix IR spectra with density functional theory (DFT) computational results. The generation of 2,4,6-trinitreno-1,3,5-triazine with a septet ground state was confirmed for the first time by matrix EPR spectroscopy. The trinitrene readily decomposed into three NCN molecules upon further photoirradiation. This process was also confirmed by matrix EPR spectroscopy.
