Strontium azide

Strontium azide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Sr(N3)2.

It is composed of the strontium cation (Sr2+) and the azide anions (N−3).

[1] Strontium azide crystallizes in an orthorhombic Fddd space group.

[2] Unlike the azides of alkali metals which have a linear azide ion formation, strontium azide possesses bent azide ions, which can continue to bend further when under higher pressure.
