Nitrosyl azide

ON—N3 is a hetero azide in which four nitrogens are linked together with covalent bonds. The yellow liquid (MP, -66°C) decomposes thermally above -50°C. It was obtained in low yield (6%) from NOCl and sodium azide in vacuo at low temperature frequent explosions occurred during the experiments [314].

Nitrosyl azide, N4O, is a pale yellow solid formed by the reaction of activated, anhydrous NaN3 andNOCl, followed by low-temperature vacuum sublimation. The Raman specUum and ab initio calculation characterized the structure of N4O as that shown in Fig. 15.2. l(i). The bonding in the N4O molecule can be represented by the following resonance sUuctures ...

Nitrosyl azide is formed in the reaction of an excess of activated sodium azide with nitrosyl chloride at 218 K. ... 

A cyclic N2O isomer has not been detected yet, but theoretical calculations indicate its formation in the decomposition of nitrosyl azide and in the reaction of OF2 with cesium azide. Dinitrogen monoxide is only metastable at lower temperatures, at temperatures above 870 K it decomposes to the elements (AZZ = +82.10kJmoD ) ... 

Nitrosyl azide can be sublimed under partial decomposition at low temperatures to form a pale yellow solid. Upon warming, it decomposes to form dinitrogen oxide and dinitrogen.
