“…Our group reported a series of metal-N 5 − hydrates, including [Na(H 2 O)(N 5 )]·2H 2 O, [M(H 2 O) 4 (N 5 ) 2 ]·4H 2 O (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Zn) and [Mg(H 2 O) 6 (N 5 ) 2 ]·4H 2 O, which confirmed that cyclo -N 5 − can be coordinated and stabilized by metal cations and opened up a promising path for fascinating pentazole chemistry. 16 Gradually, many metal-N 5 − coordination polymers (CPs) have been reported, including [Na 8 (N 5 ) 8 (H 2 O) 3 ] n , 17 MPF-1, 18 [Ba(N 5 )(NO 3 )(H 2 O) 3 ] n , 19 [NaBa 3 (N 5 ) 6 (NO 3 )(H 2 O) 3 ] n , 19 [Cu(N 5 )(N 3 )] n , 19 [Ag(N 5 )] n , 19 [Ag(NH 3 ) 2 ] + [Ag 3 (N 5 ) 4 ] − , 20 [LiNa(N 5 ) 2 (H 2 O) 4 ]·H 2 O, 21 KN 5 , 22 Na 5 (N 5 ) 5 (H 2 O) 2 (MSN)·DMSO (MPF-2), 23 MPF-3, 24 and Na 3 (N 5 ) 3 [SO 2 (CH 3 ) 2 ] (MPF-4). 24…”
