Abstract

Manganese(II) nitrate and tetramethylammonium azide react to give the title compound in which the azido groups function as end-to-end bridging lig-ands in all spatial directions, and whose structure can be described as corresponding to a distorted perovskite (section of the structure shown on the right). At higher temperatures the compound undergoes a reversible phase transition to a pseudo-cubic phase.
