Metallo-nitrenes, formed by the photochemical decomposition of metallo-azides, have recently shown to be promising complexes for chemical catalysis, specifically for nucleophilic metallo-nitrene C-H insertion.^[1] The exact reaction pathways, as well as the electronic structures of intermediate species remain so far largely unknown.

In this work, the photochemistry of the square-planar [M(N₃)(PNP)] (PNP=N(CHCHP^tBu₂)₂, M=Pd, Pt) complexes after excitation with 320 nm light were investigated using ultrafast UV-pump mIR-probe and time resolved Fourier transform IR-spectroscopy.

The data reveal that dinitrogen cleavage from the photolabile azide group occurs from the triplet state on a time scale in excess of 1 ns. The quantum yield for nitrene formation depends on the nature of the metal.
