Integral cross sections are presented as a function of collision energy. For excited N 2 ϩ ions the reaction onset shifts towards lower energies, indicating that the internal energy of the reactant ions promotes the reaction. Analysis of the energy dependence of the cross section does not allow an unequivocal determination of the reaction endothermicity. However, calculations of the ground doublet surface indicate that the minimum energy path from reactants to products proceeds through strongly bent geometries, with an endothermicity equivalent to the thermodynamic value of about 5 eV. For linear geometries an additional barrier of about 1 eV is found in the product channel. The structure of N 4 ϩ in its first excited quartet state has been also calculated by ab initio methods.

Azido-Nitrene Is Probably the N4 Molecule Observed in Mass Spectrometric Experiments

“…Besides the natural molecular nitrogen, known stable polynitrogen species are scarce. While the azide anion, N 3 - , was first synthesized in 1890 by Curtius, the stable pentanitrogen cation, N 5 + , was only prepared in 1999 by Christe and co-workers. , Until recently, the other known N n species including the N 3 • radical and N 3 + cation, − the N 4 • + radical cation, − and the N 6 •- radical anion, are reactive species that have been detected and characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques. More recently, the long-sought pentazole N 5 - anion has been detected by mass spectrometric techniques 22a and shown to have a longer lifetime ( t 1/2 > 2 days) in solution 22b.…”

On charged impurity structures in liquid helium

We should also keep in mind that the nitrogen atoms, molecules, and nanoclusters moving along the jet are still irradiated with VUV photons from helium plasma within the discharge area (Fig.…”

Is 1-nitro-1-triazene a high energy density material?

“…In fact, several molecules (N3 − [32], N4 + [33], and N5 + [34]) with poly nitrogen atoms have been found experimentally and many more in theory [35][36][37][38]. Therefore, molecules with poly nitrogen atoms are interesting in practice as HEDMs.…”
