Reactions of bromine azide ?


Br-N=N(+)=N(-)

Interesting chemical.
Imagine Reacting this with NaN3 at low temperature in anhydrous ether.
Azidogen, anyone?
I'm guessing the resulting N6 molecule just doesn't hang around in any detectable form...

Very interesting chemical...

::Looks up in chemical dictionary::

It's used in detonators? I'd have never guessed it would be that stable. Hmmm.. oxidizer warning... I know that chemicals without oxygen can still be oxidizers but it's still strange to see.

One of these days I'm going to just do a free for all and start making these interhalogen chemicals (azide molecule is a pseudo halogen so don't correct me) they all just seem so happy and colorfull and explody. I've got a book in my library on them in college, I might just have to give bromine azide another look over.

If you embark on this project don't overlook cyanogen azide NC-N=N=N, thiocyanogen SCNNCS, and the probably-existing thiocyanogen azide SCN-N=N=N
