Nitrogen has unique bonding ability to form single, double, and triple bonds, similar to that of carbon. However, a molecular crystal formed by an aromatic polynitrogen similar to a carbon system has not been found yet. Herein, a new form of stable all-nitrogen molecular crystals consisting of only bispentazole N<sub>10</sub> molecules with exceedingly high energy density is predicted. The crystal structures and the conformation of N<sub>10</sub> molecules are strongly correlated, both depending ...[more]
