Experimental and theoretical characterization of cationic, neutral, and anionic binary arsenic and antimony azide species

Research has been conducted on the cationic, neutral and anionic arsenic and antimony halides. Results indicate that these halides have been obtained from the binary and antimony azide species via the reaction with trimethylsilyl azide or sodium azide and that their identity has been established via vibrational and multinuclear NMR spectroscopies.
