Applications of Inorganic Hydrazine Derivatives

Inorganic Hydrazine Derivatives Synthesis, Properties and Applications, First Edition. Edited by K. C. Patil and Tanu Mimani Rattan. 

Hydrazine salts retain the reactivity and reducing property of anhydrous hydrazine or hydrazine hydrate, making them suitable as analytical agents, energetic compounds, and starting material for metal complexes. These aspects are discussed in the following sections.

The applications of hydrazine and its derivatives are vast and are discussed extensively in References [1,6]. While some key applications of both organic and inorganic derivatives are summarized in Table 1.12, Chapter 6 will further deal with applications of inorganic hydrazine derivatives in detail. 

The uses of inorganic derivatives of hydrazine as explosives and propellants (energetic materials), oxygen scavenger (boiler water treatment) and analytical reagents, and so on, although known, are not well documented. Some of these applications are discussed in this chapter.
