title: Homopolyatomic Nitrogen Compounds.
abstract: New nitrogen compounds with high energy density are getting closer, now that Christe et al. have achieved the synthesis of the N(5)(+) ion. Here the current experimental and theoretical knowledge is presented. According to calculations molecules containing the pentazole unit are the most promising.
