Abstract
^15^N‐labelling experiments and energy calculations on nitreno‐azines and ‐diazies are in agreement and lead to the theory that both ring contraction and ring expansion in hetarylnitrenes can be one‐step processes which are governed mainly by the energy differences between the reacting species and the products.

## Abstract The ring expansion, phenylnitrene (**1**) → azepinylidene (**3**) has been investigated using the CNDO/2 and Extended __Hückel__ method. Both methods predict that the nitrene‐nitrogen of **1** is moving out of the molecular plane on the path of minimum energy. Whether an intermediate **
## Abstract Thermolysis of tetrazolopyrazine (**1**) in organic solvents gives pyrazinylnitrene (**2**) which undergoes ring contraction to 1‐cyanoimidazole (**3**). 7‐Methyl‐5‐methylthio‐tetrazolo[1,5‐__c__]pyrimidine (**4**) likewise gives 1‐cyano‐2‐methylthio‐4‐methyl‐imidazole (**6**). The two
