Triazene

Triazene is an unsaturated inorganic compound having the chemical formula N3H3.

It has one double bond and is the second-simplest member of the azene class of hydronitrogen compounds, after diimide.

Triazenes are a class of organic compounds containing the functional group −N(H)−N=N−.

Triazene, possibly along with its isomer triimide (HNNHNH), has been synthesized in electron-irradiated ices of ammonia and ammonia/dinitrogen and detected in the gas phase after sublimation.

E.g. chlorine gas Flammability 4: Will rapidly or completely vaporize at normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, or is readily dispersed in air and will burn readily. Flash point below 23 °C (73 °F). E.g. propane Instability 4: Readily capable of detonation or explosive decomposition at normal temperatures and pressures. E.g. nitroglycerin Special hazards (white): no code
