Abstract

Abstract : Dark orange and highly explosive : The cover figure displays the structure of cation‐poor Ba[Au‐(N3 )4 ]2 ⋅ 4 H2 O, containing tetraazidoaurate(III)anions with a novel geometry and gold in a square‐planar coordination of nitrogen. Depicted IR and Raman spectra confirm both the anion geometry and the existence of hydrogen bonds. More information can be found in the Research Article by S. Afyon, P. Höhn and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203501 ).
