Chemistry is the science of bond making and bond breaking. A thorough knowledge of these
processes in the course of the chemical reaction lies at the heart of any reaction mechanism …

This review aims to be a comprehensive, authoritative, critical, and accessible review of
general interest to the chemistry community; because the electrophilicity index is a very …

Singly or doubly bonded polynitrogen compounds can decompose to dinitrogen (N2) with
an extremely large energy release. This makes them attractive as potential explosives or …

The pentazolate anion, or cyclo-N5−, which is a five-membered ring composed solely of
nitrogen atoms, has a unique structure among polynitrogen compounds. Cyclo-N5− is …

A carbon-free inorganic–metal complex [Zn (H2O) 4 (N5) 2]· 4H2O was synthesized by the
ion metathesis of [Na (H2O)(N5)]· 2H2O solution with Zn (NO3) 2· 6H2O. The complex was …

According to previous reports, metal cations or water molecules are necessary for the
stabilization of pentazolate anion (cyclo‐N5−) at ambient temperature and pressure …

The latest member of the azole family, the pentazolate or cyclo-N 5−, has received increased
attention since its first mass-spectral detection by Christe et al. in 2002. As it is carbon-and …

In whatever state of bonding–whether covalent to an organic residue or a heteroatom, or
polar to ionic in contact with a metal–the azide moiety N3 is characterized by its high …

Pentazolate is the ultimate all-nitrogen, inorganic member of the azolate series of aromatic 5-
membered ring anions. As an azolate ligand, it has the potential to form open framework …
