🎁Happy 60th birthday, Peter Schreiner! With the spectacular synthesis of “impossible” #hexanitrogen (doi.org/10.1038/s415...) he basically gave himself the perfect present. #OrganicChemistry #MatrixIsolation #Organocatalysis #ComputationalChemistry

N6 (Hexanitrogen) Synthesized for the First Time - Twice As Energy Dense As TNT Slashdot reader ffkom writes: The air around you mostly consists of nitrogen [78%]. And in that air exist happy little monogamous pairs of two nitrogen atoms per molecule, also known as N2. Researchers...

N2 is only known neutral and stable structural form (allotrope) of nitrogen. Synthesis of neutral N3 and N4 were reported earlier but could not be isolated due to extreme instability. #Allotrope #Hexanitrogen #N2 #N6 #Nitrogen
