Experiments in existentialism : Diazirinone is a molecule with a colorful history. Once considered a transient species, it was recently recast as an elusive species. That “death announcement” is no longer appropriate, as the recent synthesis and flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of carbonyl diazide has resulted in the first synthesis and full spectroscopic characterization of diazirinone.
