The topic of all-nitrogen molecules and ionic crystals holds great potential.
Some subtopics below may be interesting. I would like to know more about these materials.
Other Nitrogen-based concepts, including science fiction explosives, are welcome provided you know your chemistry.

Certain Naval researchers have prepared N5- ion.

Can a benzene-like N6 molecule be prepared? Delta Hf?

How to make ADN.

Does NH4+ H- exist or does it resolve to ammonia and hydrogen?

How about NH4+ BH4-?

In this post only ammonium dinitramide is practically useful and was developed to replace ammonium perchlorate in rocket propellants to make it environmentally friendly…If you care to visit the patent files you will find 53 patents related to it;including the synthesis.

These potential all nitrogen explosives are still of academic significance.
It will take some time before a practically useful closed and stable structure made purely of nitrogen will materialize… :p

A search in the archives would have revealed several topics about this subject (one of them by me) of pure nitrogen explosives.

Search first next time.

The only reason you're not being banned for posting a new topic as a first post is because this isn't the typical newbie lamer question, thus you show potential. Just don't fuck it off by saying something stupid like the fellow in the "Gunds that fire blanks" thread did.
