Hochdrucksynthese von C�sium-Diazidoargentat, Cs[Ag(N3)2]

The Binary Silver Nitrogen Anion [Ag(N3)2]−

“…Anionic binary azide salts of gold are prepared and unambiguously characterized, such as the azidoaurates [Au(N 3 ) 2 ] − and [Au(N 3 ) 4 ] − . ,, The azidocuprates [Cu 2 (N 3 ) 6 ] 2− and [Cu(N 3 ) 4 ] 2− are also fully characterized including their crystal structures . The only report of a possible azidoargentate involves the somewhat questionable high pressure reaction of CsN 3 with AgN 3 , which was characterized only by IR spectroscopy . Other earlier reports dealing with some [AgX 2 ] − anions discuss solubility products and instability constants, but comprise incomplete evidence for the formation of a proposed [Ag(N 3 ) 2 ] − species .…”
