Caution explosive! Homoleptic azides are of great interest as polynitrogen compounds particularly because of their high energy content. A recent breakthrough is the first synthesis and characterization of the highly sensitive neutral tellurium azide [Te(N 3 ) 4 ] and of ionic (N 5 ) + [P(N 3 ) 6 ] − containing 23 nitrogen atoms.
