Abstract

The geometrical preferences of hydrogen bonds with azide anion are studied using topological analysis of experimental and calculated electron density distribution. The comparison of electron localization function (ELF) and QTAIM analysis shows the reasons behind the apparent unidirectionality of azide anion's lone pairs. The similarity between hydrogen and coordinated bonds involving azide species is demonstrated via the analysis of the CSD.
