1 Addition Products of Dinitrogen to Nonmetallic Inorganic Species 

As there is a fairly large number of inorganic compounds that contain a primary amino group, it is of interest to briefly review how they react under the nitrosation conditions that are usually employed in the preparation of organic diazo and diazonium compounds. 

Surprisingly, the mechanisms of these two reactions were not investigated until quite recently. Olah et al. (1985 a) obtained when they treated with 

A kinetic investigation of the nitrosation of ammonia in aqueous acid solution in the range 0.5 — 0.20 m for hydrogen-ion concentration [H ] was conducted by Bryant and Williams (1988). In contrast to earlier and less reliable kinetic work, they found a first-order dependence on [NH/] and on [HNO2], and a zero-order dependence on
