- Abstract
In inorganic 5,5′-azobistetrazolate (CN ; ZT) compounds, the energetic ZT moiety is usually stabilized by H-bonds to lattice HO and/or coordination of an N-atom of the tetrazole ring to the metal ion. Here we present the synthesis and characterization of a novel, salt-like compound, [Dy(HO) ]ZT, which constitutes a unique exception to the above rule. We used supercritical CO as an unconventional desiccant in a straightforward metathesis reaction without abstaining from the benefits aqueous chemistry offers. It caused the crystallization of the title compound with a complex system of H-bonds between [Dy(HO) ] and ZT that involves almost every N-atom of the ZT anions as H-bond acceptors, which sufficiently stabilizes the energetic ZT despite the lack of lattice HO or a coordinative bond to the metal ion.
