Tetraazidomethane
Tetraazidomethane is a colorless, highly explosive liquid. Its chemical structure consists of a carbon atom substituted with four azide functional groups. It was first prepared by Klaus Banert in 2006 by reaction of trichloroacetonitrile with sodium azide.[1] Additional recommended knowledgeUsesAs with other polyazides, tetraazidomethane has interest as a high-energy-density material with potential uses in explosives, propellants, or fireworks.[2] ReactionsBanert has reported that tetraazidomethane participates in a number of surprising reactions including hydrolysis, cycloaddition reactions with alkenes and alkynes, and reaction with phosphines to form phosphazenes.[1] References
