Folder and file names PTxxx and CGxxx refer to individual experiments and are identical to those in the Supporting Information files "OpenData_SI_VinylAzides.docx/pdf/rtf". Keywords: kinetics, reactivity, nucleophiles, time-resolved spectroscopy Methods for data collection: time-dependent photometric measurements, NMR and IR spectroscopy, HRMS measurements ______________________________ File list: The zip file contains (1) a folder "kinetics" which contains txt files with absorbance vs. time data; exp files used for the k(obs) determination; pdf files with results of the k(obs) determination; (2) a folder "products" which contains the data of the spectroscopic product characterization (that is, files generated during data acquisition of NMR and IR spectra) and pdf copies of HRMS measurements. File formats: *.txt (raw data), *.exp (evaluated data), *.pdf (evaluated data, Supporting Information), *.docx (Supporting Information), *.rtf (Supporting Information), various unspecified file formats from spectroscopic data acquisition. ______________________________ Remarks: This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101106557 "ResolveByBio" (MSCA-2022-PF to P.T.).
