Hydrazinium azide

Hydrazinium azide or hydrazine azide is a chemical compound with formula H
5N
5 or [N
2H+
5][N−
3]. It is a salt of the hydrazinium cation N
2H+
5 and the azide anion N−
3. It can be seen as a derivative of hydrazine N
2H
4 and hydrazoic acid HN
3. It is an unstable solid.

The compound is of scientific interest because of its high nitrogen content and explosive properties.[1]

Structure

The solid undergoes structural phase transition to a different crystalline arrangement at a pressure of 13 GPa,[2]

Chemistry

Hydrazinium azide decomposes explosively into hydrazine, ammonia, and nitrogen gas:[3]

12 N
5H
5 → 3 N
2H
4 + 16 NH
3 + 19 N
2

Crystallization with an equimolar amount hydrazine yields the solid hydrazinium azide hydrazinate, [N
2H+
5][N−
3]·[N
2H
4], or N
7H
9, as monoclinic crystals. This compound is less hygroscopic and less volatile than pure hydrazinium azide. It decomposes explosively into nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia.[4]

At pressure of 40 GPa, hydrazinium azide decomposes yielding a linear nitrogen allotrope N
8 or N≡+N−−N−N=N−−N−+N≡N, that decomposes to ε-N2 below 25 GPa.[2]

Reaction of hydrazinium azide with sulfuric acid gives quantitative yields of pure hydrazinediium sulfate and hydrazoic acid:[5]

gollark: All the parser implementations around should accept that as valid, and you can use a fixed amount of size.
gollark: Okay, very hacky but technically workable: have an XTMF metadata block of a fixed size, and after the actual JSON data, instead of just ending it with a `}`, have enough spaces to fill up the remaining space then a `}`.
gollark: XTMF was not really designed for this use case, so it'll be quite hacky. What you can do is leave a space at the start of the tape of a fixed size, and stick the metadata at the start of that fixed-size region; the main problem is that start/end locations are relative to the end of the metadata, not the start of the tape, so you'll have to recalculate the offsets each time the metadata changes size. Unfortunately, I just realized now that the size of the metadata can be affected by what the offset is.
gollark: The advantage of XTMF is that your tapes would be playable by any compliant program for playback, and your thing would be able to read tapes from another program.
gollark: Tape Shuffler would be okay with it, Tape Jockey doesn't have the same old-format parsing fallbacks and its JSON handling likely won't like trailing nuls, no idea what tako's program thinks.
