Abstract

The thermal decomposition of hydrazoic acid in the presence of methane, ethane, and propane investigated over the temperature range 285–470 °C gave only N₂, NH₃, and polymer as products. Limited experiments were done with ethene as a substrate, and products were formed which correspond to reactions of nitrogen containing radicals with C₂H₄. The pyrolysis of HN₃ is not a good source of NH radicals due to heterogeneity and complex secondary reactions of radicals with HN₃.
