✦ Synopsis

It has been discovered recently that molecular nitrogen undergoes compsratively fast reactions with CH2 in a solid matrix at 20°K (1) and in the gas phase at 300°K (2) with CH (3), C (4) and O(5). These active particles can exist in singlet and triplet states, the latter being the ground state.

We have shown previously (2) that noticeable amounts of CH2N15 were formed in partial thermal and photochemical decomposition of CH2N2 in the atmosphere of Nz5 by the mechanism: 14 A or hg CH2N2 CH2 + Ns4 CH2 + Ni5 -CH2Nz5
