Abstract
Pentazoles are the final member in the azole series of compounds and comprise and cyclo-N5 ring with one hydrogen attached. Aryl substituted pentazoles have been successfully synthesized for many years, but more recently have served as the starting point for the synthesis of pentazolate (cyclo-N5−) salts. These salts possess dual aromaticity and are stabilized in the solid state by intermolecular interactions such as coordination and hydrogen bonds, π-π and van der Waals interactions. Synthetic advances have enabled the routine isolation of numerous pentazolate salts, either directly or through metathesis reactions, facilitating thorough spectroscopic characterization as well as their examination as novel energetic materials.
