First Structural Characterization of Neutral, Base-Stabilized Group 15-Pentaazides: Single Crystal X-ray Structures of dmap-As(N-3)(5) and dmap-Sb(N-3)(5)
Two neutral group 15-pentaazides dmap-As(N-3)(5) (1) and dmap-Sb(N-3)(5) (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized for the first time (dmap = 4-dimethylaminopyridine). Base-stabilization was confirmed to be very suitable for the kinetic stabilization of highly explosive covalent main group polyazides.
