Hexanitrogen is a potential new way of storing energy, however previous attempts have shown that similar compounds tend to explode if not frozen. This offers a room temperature stable version.

Samsung still intends on using the original compound in its S26 smartphones.

A stable, neutral hexanitrogen (N6) allotrope has been synthesized at room temperature, marking a significant advance in nitrogen chemistry and potential high-energy material applications. doi.org/g9qj7v
Scientists finally synthesize stable neutral nitrogen allotrope via room temperature gas-phase reaction
Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element.

I never understood how anyone can hate chemistry (and sooo many people appear to) with results like this!

Chemists have created and isolated the neutral nitrogen allotrope hexanitrogen, or N₆—a string of six nitrogen atoms held together by four double bonds and one single bond in the molecule’s center. cen.acs.org/materials/in... #chemsky 🧪

‘It’s more like two times N3 than three times N2’
The synthesis of hexanitrogen, the most energetic molecule ever synthesised, was made possible by rethinking what makes nitrogen compounds stable.
Most energetic molecule ever made is stable – in liquid nitrogen
Nitrogen allotrope releases double the energy of the most powerful chemical explosives
