Is it organic?
[edit]I doubt it is a really organic compound? without any C atoms? 212.51.221.195 17:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
SMILES Structure
[edit]The SMILES structure on this page is incorrect (c1c[nH]cc1), I have editted the structure to what I believe it should be (n1n[nH]nn1), however, I am unfamiliar with the format, and any help from someone familiar with SMILES structures would be greatly appreciated.

Physical properties
[edit]Anything about its physical properties (appearance, melting/boiling point, etc.)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.207.165.226 (talk) 16:10, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Nitrogen Hydrides
[edit]Whoever included pentazole amongst the hydrides of nitrogen should not have done so. I looked at the reference page link to nitrogen hydride. Ammonia, hydrazine, etc. are not hydrides. The should be more properly called hydrogen nitrides since they react with strong bases B: + HNR2 to give BH+ + -NR2. A hydride is the nucleophilic H:- species. In fact HN5 is calculated to be one of the strongest acids known.Laburke (talk) 19:36, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Anion?
[edit]- Has the form N5+ (pentazole with a H+ ion removed), been found? It should have aromatic stabilization. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:18, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- pentazole with a H+ ion removed? Do you mean N5-?--Makecat (talk) 10:20, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:29, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Does it really exist?
[edit]It's not clear from this article whether pentazole has ever been made. At the PubChem site there's a link [1] which supposedly sells the stuff, but there's no price or anything. The article by Butler et al seems to say (in the abstract) that it was produced at very low concentration, but then they say that it was actually the anion with zinc cations. Italian Wikipedia gives a density and refractive index, but no reference. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 07:38, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
