The synthesis of ammine metal azides is achieved through a simple route in liquid ammonia solution. Azides of silver, sodium, manganese, and zinc were obtained as ammine complexes from liquid ammonia and the solid compounds were characterized. The NH 3 solutions were investigated by means of NMR spectroscopy as well. The triamminesilver(I) azide as well as the unusual tetraamminesilver(I) and pentaamminesodium(I) azides are presented. The structures of the hexaamminemanganese(II) and hexaamminezinc(II) azides, which crystallize with four ammonia molecules of solvation, are elucidated. From these compounds the binary azides Mn(N 3 ) 2 and Zn(N 3 ) 2 were obtained by (careful) heating.
