ho.ho....
Today I prepared a new high energertic material SO(N3)2, can you guess what's the structure?

Interesting.
Would you care to elaborate on the different steps of the synthesis?
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

Thionyl diazide?? If such a thing exists, my guess would be a double bond between S and O, and the azide groups attached to the sulphur atom at an
angle of 120<sup>o</sup>
If you managed to prepare such a compound, it would be extremely unstable, due to the largely covalent character of the azide bond. And two such azide
linkages to the sulphur atom? That seems like a formula worthy of decomposition "in situ", as soon as it is prepared!
What method did you use to verify that the compound you synthesized was indeed thionyl diazide?

SOCl2 + 2(CH3)3SiN3 ---> SO(N3)2 + 2(CH3)3SiCl
Timethylsilyl Azide being a very effective compound to put the azide group on basically anything under anhydrous conditions because it is suprisingly
stable toward heat but overall quite reactive. I recently read a good rxn. with this compound that took place in CH3OCH2CH2OCH2CH2OCH3 the reason I
started the tread on symetrical polyethers.
However that's just one guess on how it could have been made.
