Synthesis and Characterization of the SO2N3(-), (SO2)2N3(-), and SO3N3(-) Anions

Abstract

SO2 solutions of azide anions are bright yellow and their Raman spectra indicate the presence of covalently bound azide. Removal of the solvent at -64 deg C from CsN3 or N(CH3)4N3 solutions produces yellow (SO2)2N3(-) salts. Above -64 deg C, these salts lose one mole of SO2, resulting in white SO2N3 salts that are marginally stable at room temperature and thermally decompose to the corresponding azides and SO2.
