Abstract
Di- and multinuclear hafnium complexes bridged by ligands have been rarely reported. In this article, a novel 3,5-disubstituted pyrazolate-bridged ligand LH5 with two [N2 N]2- -type chelating side arms was designed and synthesized, which supported a series of dinuclear hafnium complexes. Dinuclear hafnium azides [LHf2 (μ-1,1-N3 )2 (N3 )2 ][Na(THF)4 ] 3 and [LHf2 (μ-1,1-N3 )2 (N3 )2 ][Na(2,2,2-Kryptofix)] 4 were further synthesized and structurally characterized, featuring two sets of terminal and bridging azido ligands like jellyfishes. The reactivity of 3 under reduction conditions was conducted, leading to a formation of a tetranuclear hafnium imido complex [L1 Hf2 (μ1 -NH)(N3 ){μ2 -K}]2 5. DFT calculations revealed that the mixed imido azide 5 was generated via an intramolecular C-H insertion from a putative dinuclear HfIV -nitridyl intermediate.

Abstract
To study the thermal decomposition behavior of 4,4′-azobis(1,2,4-triazole) (ATRZ), the non-isothermal thermal decomposition kinetics of ATRZ were studied using the thermogravimetric–differential scanning calorimetry (TG–DSC) method. The TG–DSC of ATRZ was analyzed at heating rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 K·min−1 in an argon atmosphere. The thermal decomposition kinetic parameters at peak temperature (Tp), such as apparent activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factor (lgA) of ATRZ, were calculated using the Kissinger, Ozawa, and Satava–Sestak methods. Ea and lgA calculated using the Kissinger, Ozawa, and Satava–Sestak methods are very close, at 780.2 kJ·mol−1/70.5 s−1, 751.1 kJ·mol−1/71.8 s−1, and 762.1 kJ·mol−1/71.8 s−1, respectively. Using a combination of three methods, the reaction mechanism function g(α) of ATRZ was obtained. The results show that the decomposition temperature of ATRZ is about 310 °C, and the decomposition is rapidly exothermic. The pyrolysis path of ATRZ was investigated through a pyrolysis-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (PY-GC/MS) experiment. ATRZ has three different decomposition paths and finally generates N2, HC-N-CH, N≡C-N, and HC=N-C≡N. The laser ignition combustion duration of ATRZ was 0.5033 s and the peak temperature was 1913 °C. The laser ignition combustion duration of ATRZ+CL-20 was 1.0277 s and the peak temperature was 2105 °C. The rapid energy release rate of ATRZ promotes the combustion energy release of CL-20.

Abstract
Using various versions of density functional theory (DFT), DFT M06/TZVP, DFT B3PW91/TZVP, DFT OPBE/TZVP, and, partially, the MP2 method, the possibility of the existence of 3d-element (M) compounds with nitrogen having unusual M: nitrogen ratio 1:12, unknown for these elements at the present, was shown. Structural parameter data were presented. It was shown that all MN4 groupings have tetragonal-pyramidal structure. It was noted that the bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to each other only in the case of M = Ti, V, Cr and Co, whereas for other Ms, they were slightly different; moreover, the bond angles formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to 90.0°, or practically did not differ from this value. Thermodynamic parameters, NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound were also presented. Good agreement between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum chemical methods was also noted.

Abstract
Cationic zirconium-doped nitrogen clusters were produced by laser ablation of a Zr : BN mixture target and were detected by TOF mass spectrometry. It is found that the mass peak of the ZrN12+ cluster is dominant in the spectrum. The ZrN12+ cluster was further dissociated with 266 nm photons. Extensive structure searches of a cationic ZrN12+ cluster indicate that the ground state structure of ZrN12+ consists of a central Zr atom and six N2 pairs with Oh symmetry. The calculated binding energy of the ZrN12+ cluster is about 0.96 eV, which is in accordance with the result of the photodissociation experiment. The neutral ZrN12 cluster has almost the same geometry, but with D3h symmetry. NBO analysis showed that the molecular orbitals of ZrN12+/0 clusters are mainly composed of Zr 4d and N 2p orbitals. These findings provide rich information for understanding the geometries and the electronic properties of zirconium-doped N clusters, which will offer valuable guidance for the exploration of other metal doped nitrogen clusters.

Abstract
By replacing hydrogen atoms in thymine molecules with nitro groups, a series of new high-energy-density molecules are designed. To explore the thermal stability, the heats of formation (HOF) are calculated at the B3PW91-D3/6-311++G(2df,2p) level. The bond dissociation energy and the bond order are also calculated to predict the kinetic stability at the same level. Based on our calculations, excellent stability is confirmed for title molecules. To confirm the possibility of application as high-energy-density compounds, the molecular density (ρ), explosive heats (Q), detonation velocity (D), detonation pressure (P), free space per molecule in crystal lattice (ΔV), and characteristic drop height (H50) are calculated. On the consideration of the stability and the detonation characters, E1 is confirmed as the candidates of high-energy-density compounds.

Abstract
A series of excellent works have demonstrated that high-nitrogen-content metal pentazolate (cyclo-N5 -) compounds could be stabilized by high pressure. However, under ambient conditions, low stability precludes their synthesis and application in the field of high-energy-density material. In this work, by using a constrained structure search method, we predicted two new structures as P212121-CuN5 and P21/c-CuN5 containing cyclo-N5 - with strong N-N and Cu-N bonds. In both structures, cyclo-N5 - form four coordination with the Cu+ ligand, which increases the structural stability by lowering the disturbance to the aromaticity of cyclo-N5 -. The calculated results show that the P212121-CuN5 and P21/c-CuN5 structures exhibit high dynamic and thermal stability up to 400 K, indicating that they can be stabilized under ambient conditions. The decomposing energy of P212121-CuN5 and P21/c-CuN5 can reach up to 2.40 and 2.42 kJ/g, respectively. Strikingly, the detonation velocity and the pressure of P212121-CuN5 is predicted to be up to 10.42 km/s and 617.46 kbar, respectively, indicating that they are promising high-energy candidates in the field of explosive combustion.

Abstract
High-energy-density materials (HEDMs) have been intensively studied for their significance in fundamental sciences and practical applications. Here, using the molecular crystal structure search method based on first-principles calculations, we have predicted a series of metastable energetic trivalent metal pentazolate salts MN15 (M= Al, Ga, Sc, and Y). These compounds have high energy densities, with the highest nitrogen content among the studied nitrides so far. Pentazolate N5- molecules stack up face-to-face and form wave-like patterns in the C2221 and Cc symmetries. The strong covalent bonding and very weak noncovalent interactions with nonbonded overlaps coexist in these ionic-like structures. We find MN15 molecular structures are mechanically stable up to high temperature (∼1000 K) and ambient pressure. More importantly, these trivalent metal pentazolate salts have high detonation pressure (∼80 GPa) and velocity (∼12 km/s). Their detonation pressures exceeding that of TNT and HMX make them good candidates for high-brisance green energetic materials.

Abstract
Pentazolate is the ultimate all-nitrogen, inorganic member of the azolate series of aromatic 5-membered ring anions. As an azolate ligand, it has the potential to form open framework structures with metal ions, that would be inorganic analogues of azolate metal-organic frameworks formed by its congeners. However, while the low stability and elusive nature of the pentazolate ion have so far prevented the synthesis of such frameworks, computational studies have focused on pentazolate exclusively as a ligand that would form discrete metallocene structures. Encouraged by the recent first isolation and structural characterization of pentazolate salts and metal complexes stable at ambient conditions, we now explore the role of pentazolate as a framework-forming ligand. We report a computational periodic density-functional theory evaluation of the energetics and topological preferences of putative metal pentazolate frameworks, which also revealed a topologically novel framework structure.

Abstract
Singly or doubly bonded polynitrogen compounds can decompose to dinitrogen (N2) with an extremely large energy release. This makes them attractive as potential explosives or propellants, but also challenging to produce in a stable form. Polynitrogen materials containing nitrogen as the only element exist in the form of high-pressure polymeric phases, but under ambient conditions even metastability is realized only in the presence of other elements that provide stabilization. An early example is the molecule phenylpentazole, with a five-membered all-nitrogen ring, which was first reported in the 1900s and characterized in the 1950s. Salts containing the azide anion (N3-) or pentazenium cation (N5+) are also known, with compounds containing the pentazole anion, cyclo-N5-, a more recent addition. Very recently, a bulk material containing this species was reported and then used to prepare the first example of a solid-state metal-N5 complex. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of five metal pentazolate hydrate complexes [Na(H2O)(N5)]·2H2O, [M(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O (M = Mn, Fe and Co) and [Mg(H2O)6(N5)2]·4H2O that, with the exception of the Co complex, exhibit good thermal stability with onset decomposition temperatures greater than 100 °C. For this series we find that the N5- ion can coordinate to the metal cation through either ionic or covalent interactions, and is stabilized through hydrogen-bonding interactions with water. Given their energetic properties and stability, pentazole-metal complexes might potentially serve as a new class of high-energy density materials or enable the development of such materials containing only nitrogen. We also anticipate that the adaptability of the N5- ion in terms of its bonding interactions will enable the exploration of inorganic nitrogen analogues of metallocenes and other unusual polynitrogen complexes.
