Abstract

Abstract: Tetramethylammonium azide, N (CH3)?+ N3-, was obtained in high purity and quantitative yield by the reaction of N (CH3),+ F with Si (CH3) 3N3 in CH3CN solution. This compound is isostructural with N (CH3),+ HF2-and crystallizes in the orthorhombic system: space group, Pmr12~(No. 31); a= 6.879 (5) A; b= 5.479 (4) A; c= 8.858 (7) A; Z= 2; R (F)= 0.0388. Its N3-anion is symmetric and linear and the N (CH3) 4+ cation is somewhat ...
