Beryllium azide, Be(N3)2, is an inorganic compound. It is the beryllium analog of hydrazoic acid (HN3).

Synthesis

[edit]

Beryllium azide has been synthesised by the reaction of beryllium chloride with neat trimethylsilyl azide:[3]

BeCl2 + 2 Me3SiN3 → Be(N3)2 + 2 Me3SiCl

Alternatively, dimethylberyllium reacts with hydrazoic acid in dry diethyl ether at −116 °C:[1]

Be(CH3)2 + 2 HN3 → Be(N3)2 + 2 CH4

Structure

[edit]

Infrared and Raman spectra suggest that beryllium azide consists of infinite chains, with tetrahedrally coordinated beryllium(II) atoms covalently bridged by one end of the azide units.[3]
