26. Reversible formation of [2 + 2] cycloadducts for the C-/D-bis(diazenes) [and all bis(diazene) N-Oxides] cannot be rigorously ruled out. In fact, the very slow conversion of one or the other substrate is suggestive of unproductive consumption of light.

49. Once various B-type bis(diazene) N-oxides had become available as photoproducts of their A-type isomers,[13] their deoxygenation seemed a convenient route to the respective bis(diazenes). In line with literature reports, [14] however, strain-related complications made this approach impractical.
