Pentazolate
# Pentazolate

In chemistry, a pentazolate is a compound that contains a $cyclo-N_5^−$ ion, the anion of pentazole. In 2017, researchers prepared the first salt $(N_5)_6(H_3O)_3(NH_4)_4Cl$ containing pentazolate anion starting a substituted phenylpentazole, m-CPBA and iron(II) glycinate. A series of metal and nonmetal pentazolates were subsequently synthesized according to their work.
