The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of silver azide have been studied and the results found to fit a rate equation d(N2)/dt = k(AgN3)2/3. The energy of activation of the decomposition has been ...

THE correlation of the explosive sensitivity of simple metal azides with the metal's ionization potential has been related to the control of the azide's electrons by the metal and a consequent ...

Researchers from the MOE Key Laboratory of Macromolecular Synthesis and Functionalization, Department of Polymer Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, China, have expanded the range of monomer ...

STUDIES of the solid state properties of metallic azides are at present restricted by the lack of availability of single crystal specimens because of preparative difficulties. According to reports, ...

Variety of tetrazole derivatives, including antihypertensive pharmaceutical agent Irbesartan, are produced using alkali metal azides (MeN 3). Azides or hydrazoic acids (HN 3) are extremely lethal when ...

There's a reagent used in chemical biology and protein labeling that should be getting a bit more attention than it does. Not because it's useful - that's already known - but because it can explode.
