Sodium Azidodithiocarbonate, NaSCSN3> mw 141.16, N 29.77% col powd of no distinct cryst form mp explodes between 139-43°. It was prepd by dehydration of either the tetra-hydrate or the dihydrate at RT over PaO in a vac desiccator. SI decompn takes place as evidenced by the development of a pink color on the cryst surface. This color disappeared on exposure to air...

Recrystallized sodium azide (12 g.) is dissolved in 50 ml. of water, and 12 ml. of carbon disulfide is added. The mixture is placed in a small flask fitted with a reflux condenser and kept at a temperature of about 40°C. for approximately 48 hours. If carbon disulfide is lost by volatilization, more is added from time to time. The resulting solution of sodium azidodithiocarbonate is filtered, chilled in an ice bath, and treated with chilled concentrated hydrochloric acid. The white, crystalline precipitate is washed twice by decantation with ice water, separated by filtration on a Buchner funnel, dried on a porous plate or between filter paper, preserved in a desiccator protected from the light, and kept at a temperature below 10°C. (In this way, azidodithiocarbonic acid may be kept for 24 to 48 hours without appreciable decomposition.)... 

Approximately 5 ml. of the filtered solution of sodium azidodithiocarbonate obtained as described in the preceding paragraph is diluted to 200 to 300 ml. with water. A normal solution of iodine dissolved in potassium iodide is added drop by drop, with continual stirring, until complete precipitation of azidocarbondisulfide has been effected. The slightest excess of iodine must be avoided, however, as iodine is adsorbed by the azidocarbondisulfide and can be...
