Polyazide Chemistry Preparation and Characterization of Te(N3)4 and P(C6H5)42Te(N3)6
Abstract
The azido-group is highly energetic and adds about 70 kcal/mol to the energy content of a molecule. It is, therefore, not surprising that polyazides are highly endothermic compounds, and that their energy content increases with an increasing number 9f azido ligands. Compared to the relatively stable azide anion, which possesses two double bonds, the bonds in covalent azides are polarized towards a single and a triple bond, which greatly facilitates N2 elimination and enhances their shock sensitivity.
