Sodium hydrazide, NH₂NHNa

The Sodium hydrazide is produced by the interaction of hydrazine hydrate and sodamide:

NH₂•NH₂,H₂O+NH₂Na=NH₂• NH₂+NH₃+NaOH;
NH₂•NH₂+NH₂Na=NH₂•NHNa+NH₃.

It can also be formed by the interaction of sodium and pure hydrazine, ammonia and a small proportion of hydrogen being evolved. The colourless, glistening leaflets are both spontaneously inflammable and violently explosive.
