Abstract

Several imidazolium-based ionic liquid azides with saturated and unsaturated side chains were prepared, and their physical and structural properties were investigated. The reactivity of these new as well as some previously reported ionic liquid azides with strong oxidizers, N 2O 4 and inhibited, red-fuming-nitric acid (IRFNA), was studied.
