Strontium azide

Strontium azide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula. It is composed of the strontium cation and the azide anions.

Properties

Strontium azide crystallizes in an orthorhombic Fddd space group. 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.
