High Energy Density Materials: Synthesis and Characterization of the Pentanitrogen (1+) Cation, N5+, A Novel Homoleptic Polynitrogen Ion

Abstract

Polynitrogen compounds are of significant interest as high energy density materials (HEDM) for propulsion or explosive applications. In spite of numerous theoretical studies predicting that certain all-nitrogen compounds might be stable, however, only a few unsuccessful experimental studies aimed at their actual synthesis have been undertaken.
