First Structural Characterization Of Neutral, Base-Stabilized Group 15-Pentaazides: Single Crystal X-Ray Structures Of Dmap-As(N-3)(5) And Dmap-Sb(N-3)(5)

Two neutral group 15-pentaazides dmap-As(N-3)(5) (1) and dmap-Sb(N-3)(5) (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized for the first time (dmap = 4-dimethylaminopyridine). Base-stabilization was confirmed to be very suitable for the kinetic stabilization of highly explosive covalent main group polyazides.
