Hydrazinium ions

NP reacts with hydrazine to form NH3 and nitrous oxide (Eq. (26)) with the rate law — d[NP]/df = [NP][NH2NH2] (61). The hydrazinium ion N2H5" was inactive, so the rate decreased to near zero at pH 6 consistent with the p-Ka value of hydrazine. 

However, if the atoms are not related by symmetry, the normal rules break down. The homoionic N-N bond in the hydrazinium ion is an electron pair bond, but one in which N1 contributes 1.25 and N2 0.75 electrons. How can we apply the bond valence model in such cases where no solution to the network equations is possible One approach is to isolate the non-bipartite portion of the graph into a complex pseudo-atom. Thus in the hydrazinium ion the homoionic bond and its two terminating N atoms are treated as a single pseudo-anion which forms six bonds with a valence sum equal to the formal charge of —4. 

Procedure. Transfer ca 0.2-g accurately weighed sample to a 100-ml vol flask and add distd w to the mark. Stopper and shake until completely dissolved. Pipette out 5 ml and add 1 ml of the reagent (prepd by dissolving 1 g of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in 50 ml absol ale and 5 ml coned HCl). If hydrazinium ion is present, the soln turns yel at first and then, after 10-15 mins, intensely red-orange. Compare the intensity of coloration of similarly treated solns (standards) contg 0.0001 mg to 1 mg of NaH4 per ml... 

Hydrated and anhydrous chromium(II) hydrazinium sulfates (N2H5)2Cr(S04)2 are known. They are air-stable, and in the latter (from isomorphism with the Zn11 complex) each metal ion is coordinated to the nitrogen atoms of two hydrazinium ions and four 6 atoms of bridging sulfato anions.135... 

Although platinum(IV) is a stable oxidation state of platinum, the complex PtCl2 will oxidize hydrazinium ion. Hydrogen ion does not affect the rate. The reaction proceeds via a platinum(III) intermediate and a protonated hydrazyl radical which decomposes to N2 and... 

Hydrazoic acid is formed (I) by reaction of sodium nitrate with molten sodamide, (2) by reaction of nitrous oxide with molten sodamide, (3) by reaction of nitrous acid and hydrazinium ion (N2H51), (4) by oxidation of hydraz.mium sails. (5) by reaction of ethyl nitrite with NaOH solution and acidifying. See also Azides... 

Several bicyclic hydrazinium ions have been prepared and two synthetic strategies have emerged as generally useful, i.e., electrochemical oxidation and Lewis or Brpnsted acid-promoted cyclization.93 Oxidation of l,6-diazabicyclo[4.4.4]tetradecane, for example, (194) gives the intermediate radical cation (195) and the bicylic dication (196, eq 50).93a... 

Table VII shows that for cesium sorption, both KC1 and N H4 are significant for the two geologic solids studied. The negative values indicate that the presence of either KC1 or lowers sorption. Both appear to be competing with Cs+ ion for sorption sites. Competition between K+ and Cs+ ions for sorption sites on mica-like minerals is well known. However, displacement of Cs+ by hydrazine was surprising since N H, should exist mainly as a neutral species at pH 9-10. A small amount (0.0005M to 0.005M) will be protonated and apparently competes with Cs+. Ammonium ion is known to effectively compete with Cs+ for mineral sorption sites. Hydrazinium ion with a similar molecular structure should also displace Cs+. Since hydrazine will not reduce or complex Cs+, the only possible effects on cesium sorption is to compete for sorption sites or to alter the surface of the solid minerals. No evidence of surface alteration (change in color or texture) was observed. Therefore, it appears that an Eh buffer is not required for Cs+ sorption studies and hydrazine only interferes with the sorption reaction.

Calcium concentration can also affect strontium sorption on sandstone and tuff even through concentrations of Ca2+ are 30 to 220 times lower than Na+. This is due to similar chemical behavior, ion charge, and size of Sr2+ and Ca2+. Both ions are sorbed onto similar sites and effectively compete for these. Hydrazinium ions also exchange with Sr2. Ions of similar size effectively compete with both Cs+ and Sr2+ for sorption sites.

The enolate ion, 3-61, will pick up a proton from solvent, and the hydrazinium ion will lose a proton to a base, such as a molecule of hydrazine. The distance between the groups in the molecule makes intramolecular transfer of a proton quite unlikely. The nucleophilic hydrazine group in the neutral intermediate, 3-62, can react intramolecularly with the electrophilic carbon of the carbonyl group. 

It is a good solvent for sulphur, selenium, phosphorus, and arsenic. A weak base, it normally forms salts of the hydrazinium ion, N2H5+, though salts of the NgHg ion are also known. 

The protonation constants and the activity coefficients of hydrazine molecules and hydrazinium ions have been measured in aqueous solution with NaCl at ionic strengths in the range 0.05—3.00moll-1.66... 

Using the thermodynamic cycles presented earlier (3) with a value of 10.8 kcal/mol for the free energy of acid dissociation of hydrazinium ion in water, we obtain AG°5 = 16 kcal/mol for the standard oxidation potential of hydrazine in aqueous solution.
