An explosive mixture : The first structural characterization of a binary molecule of phosphorus and nitrogen is described. With the help of a new synthetic strategy, the phosphorus azide P 3 N 21 is prepared in pure form, and single crystals are isolated, enabling a structure determination by X‐ray diffraction (see structure; P orange, N blue).
