SUMMARY

The N3-C triplebond C-N3 compound is a subject of debate regarding its stability and existence. While some participants question whether it is a stable compound or merely metastable, others emphasize the importance of synthesis versus theoretical prediction in defining its existence. The discussion highlights the need for empirical evidence to confirm the stability of N3-C triplebond C-N3, as theoretical predictions alone do not suffice to establish its status as a real chemical compound.

Define "exist". Stable? How stable? Or only metastable? Does it have to have been synthesized, or is it enough that it's theoretically predicted to be stable, etc?
 
Ive never heard anything about it. I'm just wondering if anybody has
