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

Abstract

The reaction of silver azide with triphenylsulfonium or tetraphenylphosphonium azide results in the formation of the binary silver-nitrogen compound, the novel diazido-argentate(I) anion [Ag(N(3))(2)](-). The crystal structures of both salts of this anion show different cation dependent azide coordination spheres around silver.

Green Primary Explosives

“…A key point is that silver azide does not decompose to hydrazoic acid gas in the presence of water and CO 2 , as described previously in this chapter for lead azide. By far the most studied form of silver azide is the monoazide, although the diazide anion (Ag(N 3 ) 2 ) was investigated more recently by Klapötke [32]. Relative to lead, silver is more environmentally and toxicologically acceptable.…”

Two Environmentally Friendly Energetic Compounds, [Mn(AZT)4(H2O)2](PA)2·4H2O and [Co(AZT)2(H2O)4](PA)2, Based on 3‐Azido‐1,2,4‐triazole (AZT) and Picrate (PA)

“…[46] Recently, much research has been carried out on energetic azido coordination compounds, because they are highly energetic and have a high nitrogen content. [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] The sophisticated and intriguing structures of azido compounds can range from discrete structures to 3D arrays. In particular, the azido compound was studied mainly due to its explosive nature, ability to form pure-and mixed-ligand complexes, ambidentate nature, and bridging capacity.…”

“…Researchers have also paid intense attention to the azido ligand due to its various coordination modes [47][48][49][50][51] (Figure 1). The various intriguing structures of azido-metal complexes, ranging from discrete structures to three-dimensional arrays, have promoted the development of coordination chemistry.…”
