The cover picture shows schematically the conditions for preparation and decomposition of strontium diazenides. The crystal structures of the diazenides, which were obtained as single‐phase products under high N2 pressure (up to 5500 bar), were determined by neutron diffraction. The background is provided by a section of the powder diffraction pattern of SrN2, and the coordination of the diazenide ions is shown top right. The N−N bond length in the diazenide ions is 122 pm in both compounds. Details of the preparation and characterization of the Sr diazenides are reported by G. Auffermann, Y. Prots, and R. Kniep on p. 547 ff.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
