✦ Synopsis
Tetraethylphosphonium azide, [P(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ , was prepared from tetraethyl phosphonium bromide and silver azide. Single crystals of [P(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ were grown from dichloromethane/THF (10:1) solution. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [P(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/c with Z ס 4 and unit cell dimensions a ס 12.961(6), b ס 6.835(3), c ס 12.378(6) A ˚, and b ס 100.57(4)Њ. The attempted preparation of phosphonium azide [PH 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ from phosphonium iodide and silver azide lead instead to the formation of PH 3 and HN 3 . The instability of [PH 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ with respect to PH 3 and HN 3 is in accord with thermodynamic considerations according to which the reaction PH 3 (g) and HN 3 (g) to yield [PH 4 ] ם [N 3 ] מ is thermodynamically unfavorable.
