Abstract
The pentazolate anion, as a polynitrogen species, holds great promise as a high-energy density material for explosive or propulsion applications. Designing pentazole complexes that contain minimal non-energetic components is desirable in order to increase the material’s energy density. Here, we report a solvent-free pentazolate complex, AgN5, and a 3D energetic-framework, [Ag(NH3)2]+[Ag3(N5)4]ˉ, constructed from silver and cyclo-N5ˉ. The complexes are stable up to 90 °C and only Ag and N2 are observed as the final decomposition products. Efforts to isolate pure AgN5 were unsuccessful due to partial photolytical and/or thermal-decomposition to AgN3. Convincing evidence for the formation of AgN5 as the original reaction product is presented. The isolation of a cyclo-N5ˉ complex, devoid of stabilizing molecules and ions, such as H2O, H3O+, and NH4+, constitutes a major advance in pentazole chemistry. The pentazolate anion shows great promise for high energy density materials, but has only been isolated alongside non-energetic counter ions that impede its energetic properties. Here, the authors synthesize a silver cyclo-N5-complex devoid of stabilizing ions, as well as a complementary [Ag(NH3)2]+[Ag3(N5)4]− 3D framework.
