Silicon tetraazide is a thermally unstable binary compound of silicon and nitrogen with a nitrogen content of 85.7%. This high-energy compound combusts spontaneously and can only be studied in a solution A further coordination to a six-fold coordinated structure like a hexaazido silicide [Si(N3)6]2− or as an adduct with bicationic ligands Si(N3)4L2 will result in relatively stable crystalline solids that can be handled at room temperature.
