Metal hydrazines of organic acids

Hydrazine reacts with several organic anions to form salts as discussed in Chapter 2, and these salts in turn react with metal ions to form complexes. Several such complexes of metal hydrazines investigated recently are briefly discussed in this section. 

Rare earth based lanthanide complexes with 3-acetoxybenzoic acid (3-abH) of formula [Ln(3-ab)3(N2H4)2]-xH20 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, and Gd and x = 0 Ln = Nd and Sm and x= ) and monohydrazine complexes with 4-acetoxybenzoic acid (4-abH) of formula [Ln(4-ab)3(N2H4)] H20 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Gd) have been prepared. These complexes undergo exothermic decomposition to form their respective metal oxides [38]. 

3 REACTTVITY OF METAL SALT HYDRAZINES (FROM DETONATION TO DEFLAGRATION TO DECOMPOSITION) 

Based on the thermal reactivity, three distinct groups of metal salt hydrazines have been distinguished (Table 3.26)
