Azide und Cyanamide – ähnlich und doch anders/Azides and Cyanamides – Similar and Yet Different
Abstract The crystal structures of LiN3*H2O (P63/mcm (No. 193), Z = 6; 924.01(13); 560.06(7) pm); NH4N3 (Pmna (No. 53), Z =4; a=889.78(18), b=380,67(8), c=867.35(17) pm); Ca(N3)2 (Fddd (No. 70), Z = 8; a=595.4(2), b=1103.6(5), c=1133.1(6) pm), Sr(N3)2 (Fddd (No. 70), Z =8; a= 612.02(9), b = 1154.60(18), c = 1182.62(15) pm); Ba(N3)2 (P21/m (No. 11), Z = 2; a = 544.8(1), b = 439.9(1), c = 961.3(2) pm, β = 99.64(3)°) and TlN3 (I4/mcm (No. 140), Z = 2; 618.96(9); 732.71(15) pm) have been either determined for the first time or redetermined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. The afore mentioned compounds, AN3 (A = Na, K, Rb, Cs), M(N3)2 · 2.5 H2O (M = Mg, Zn) and the cyanamides Li2CN2, CdCN2 and CuCN2 were investigated by Raman and IR spectroscopy (KBr technique). Structural features and spectroscopic data of azides and cyanamides from this work and from literature are listed and compared.
