Synthesis of magnesium-nitrogen salts of polynitrogen anions
Polynitrogen compounds are potentially promising high energy density materials, but are difficult to synthesize due to their instability. Here, the authors observe the formation, under high pressure, of a Mg2N4 magnesium–tetranitrogen salt which remains stable at ambient conditions.
