Abstract

Huang and Xu argue that the cyclo -N 5 ion in (N 5 ) 6 (H 3 O) 3 (NH 4 ) 4 Cl we described in our report is theoretically unfavorable and is instead protonated. Their conclusion is invalid, as they use an improper method to assess the proton transfer in a solid crystal structure. We present an in-depth experimental and theoretical analysis of (N 5 ) 6 (H 3 O) 3 (NH 4 ) 4 Cl that supports the results in the original paper.
