In chemistry, a pentazolate is a compound that contains a ''cyclo''-N
5− ion, the anion of
pentazole
Pentazole is an aromatic molecule consisting of a five-membered ring with all nitrogen atoms, one of which is bonded to a hydrogen atom. It has the molecular formula . Although strictly speaking a homocyclic, inorganic compound, pentazole has ...
