High Energy Density Materials
Abstract
During the past two decades, polynitrogen compounds have received increasing attention as promising candidates for High Energy Density Materials (HEDM).1-17 While most of the efforts were devoted to theoretical studies, the long-known existence of the stable azide anion (N3-)18 and the recent syntheses of stable salts of the pentanitrogen cation (N5+)1-3 have demonstrated the feasibility of experimentally pursuing such materials. The only known direct method for preparing N5+ compounds is their synthesis from an N2F+ salt with HN3 in HF solution according to Equation 1. 1, 2
