Abstract

Huang and Xu argue that the cyclo-N₅^- ion in (N₅)₆(H₃O)₃(NH₄)₄Cl 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 (N₅)₆(H₃O)₃(NH₄)₄Cl that supports the results in the original paper.
