title: The binary silver nitrogen anion [Ag(N3)2]-.
abstract: The reaction of silver azide with triphenylsulfonium or tetraphenylphosphonium azide results in the formation of the binary silver-nitrogen compound, the novel diazido-argentate(I) anion [Ag(N(3))(2)](-). The crystal structures of both salts of this anion show different cation dependent azide coordination spheres around silver.
