Nitrogen-rich molecules are well known for their ability to store energy. Recent research on such species has focused on small molecules with extremely high proportions of nitrogen, such as N4, Ng, or azide-substituted compounds. 1-3 In this paper, we present new information aboutazide compounds of boron. Apartfrom their ability to store large amounts of energy, these species hold additional interest as possible precursors for boron nitride thin films. Both hexagonal and cubic BNfilms have many important applications as either wide band gap semiconductors or as tribological coatings. 4 Boron azides have been known for more than forty years. In 1954, Wiberg and Michaud5 synthesized boron triazide, B (N3) 3, by the reaction of diborane with HN3 in an ether solution at low temperature. The reaction evolved H2 to leave B (N3) 3, and the conditions were adjusted to produce an H2 yield approximately 95% of that expected from the 3: 1 stoichiometry of the reaction. These authors used similar methods to produceA1 (N;) 3, as well as extremely energetic adducts of BCNsri and A1 (N3) 3 with NaN3 and L1N3. In 1963, Paetzold6 reported the synthesis of CI2BN3 from the reaction of BCI3 with L1N3 in a CH2CI2 solution. Theproduct was obtained as a crystalline solid identified as trimeric dichloroboron azide,(BChNsri. Upon heating to 200 C, the compound converted to hexachloroborazole by loss of N2 from the trimer and migration of the chlorine atoms. The crystal structure of (CI2BN3) was determined by Mueller7 in 1971, the results confirming the trimeric structure. Dichloroboron azide was also studied by Wiberg and Michaud8 in 1972. These authorsproduced it from the reaction of BCI3 with trimethylsilyl azide in CH2CI2. In 1978, Dehnicke9 reported the generation of azides of aluminum, gallium, and boron from reactions of the triiodides of these metals with iodine azide in benzene. He recorded theinfrared spectra of the monoazide products, I2MN3, and observed the formation of oligimers of these species. Alkylboron azides have been generated using similar methods. In 1966, Paetzold10 produced (OUhBNs from the reaction of (CHs^ BBr and tri-n-butylsilyl azide, obtaining the product as an explosive liquid. Recently, ab initio computationalmethods have been used11 to determine the structure of (CH3) 2BN3. Similar reactions of organic azides with halogenated boron compounds have been used by organic chemists for the synthesis of heterocyclic ring compounds of
