This review, presented in three parts, summarizes the results concerning the molecular and
electronic structure and the thermodynamic stability of polynitrogen compounds Nn, with n …

Electronic and vibrational spectroscopic studies of molecules are of crucial importance to
characterizing a molecule and detecting the molecular species in different environments. In …

Tetra-nitrogen (N 4), which has been the subject of recent controversy [Cacace, d. Petris,
and Troiani, Science 295, 480 (2002); Cacace, Chem. Eur. J. 8, 3839 (2002); Nguyen et al …

The photodissociation dynamics of N 3+ excited from its (linear) 3 Σ g−/(bent) 3 A ″ground
to the first excited singlet and triplet states is investigated. Three-dimensional potential …

The fundamental vibrational frequencies and higher vibrationally excited states for the N 3+
ion in its electronic ground state have been determined from quantum bound state …

We report an investigation into the dissociative recombination of the azide radical cation, N
3+⁠. The reaction rate constant has been measured to be 6.47× 10− 7 cm 3 s− 1 at room …

Ab initio computations on C2v and Cs structures of the N3+ azide ion have been performed,
in order to characterize its low-lying bent and cyclic electronic states. Available …

Since the studies of Walsh in the 1950s, triatomic molecules have provided a field of
investigation for the fundamentals of bonding. A general consensus has been that rings are …

The endothermic reaction N 2++ N 2→ N 3++ N has been investigated both experimentally
and by ab initio calculations. Integral cross sections are presented as a function of collision …

We study the finite temperature dynamical process followed by the ground state (linear
triplet) and the first excited state (cyclic singlet) of the azide radical cation, N3+. Born …
