Abstract

Basic lead azides are obtained by the slow thermal decomposition of PbN6 at temperatures up to 200°C in oxygen, argon, and air containing varying amounts of moisture. The decomposition diagrams show several stages due to the formation of different phases, two of which have been separated. One phase can be identified as a tetragonal deformed cubic lattice. Further slow decompositions of the basic lead azide at 250°C lead to tetragonal lead oxide. The structure of the other isolated phase Is of lower symmetry and has not yet been classified. The results of this investigation are also compared with the work of previous investigators.
