The Molybdenum(V) and Tungsten(VI) Oxoazides [MoO(N3)3], [MoO(N3)3⋅2 CH3CN], [(bipy)MoO(N3)3], [MoO(N3)5]2−, [WO(N3)4], and [WO(N3)4⋅CH3CN]

A series of novel molybdenum(V) and tungsten(VI) oxoazides was prepared starting from [MOF₄] (M=Mo, W) and Me₃SiN₃. While [WO(N₃)₄] was formed through fluoride–azide exchange in the reaction of Me₃SiN₃ with WOF₄ in SO₂ solution, the reaction with MoOF₄ resulted in a reduction of Mo^VI to Mo^V and formation of [MoO(N₃)₃]. Carried out in acetonitrile solution, these reactions resulted in the isolation of the corresponding adducts [MoO(N₃)₃?2 CH₃CN] and [WO(N₃)₄?CH₃CN]. Subsequent reactions of [MoO(N₃)₃] with 2,2′‐bipyridine and [PPh₄][N₃] resulted in the formation and isolation of [(bipy)MoO(N₃)₃] and [PPh₄]₂[MoO(N₃)₅], respectively. Most molybdenum(V) and tungsten(VI) oxoazides were fully characterized by their vibrational spectra, impact, friction and thermal sensitivity data and, in the case of [WO(N₃)₄?CH₃CN], [(bipy)MoO(N₃)₃], and [PPh₄]₂[MoO(N₃)₅], by their X‐ray crystal structures.
