Just had this thought, has anyone heard about azides of amides, such as NH3, N2H4, CH3NH2 etc before, or even better, of nitro amides such as
[O2N-CH2-NH3] [N3] etc etc? Also, is anyone aware of the existence of azide anhydrides? I imagine the latter are rather hard to prepare, and probably
so unstable you couldn't even produce them...
Obviously there is a vast number of variations, so I wondered whether there are any interesting ones????
I am not speaking of azides linked to N or C directly, but rather of salts of organic bases, to be clear on that.
PS sorry if there is a partial overlap with other threads 
Edit: I realise HN3 is a weak acid, so they might be difficult to prepare as amino salts...

hydroxylammonium azide gotta be intriguing

Hydroxylamine is a poor base an hydrazoic acid is a lousy acid so the salt can't be formed.
Hydroxylammonium nirate might be interesting (I have a feeling the nitrite is too unstable to prepare.)

sure, but many amines have a fairly strong basicity. There is potential on this!
By the way, although they are not organic, how about NH2NH3N3? hydrazine is a strong base. or even ammonium azide, does that exist ?
Hexamine Azide

Hi, sorry to bring up an old post, but the subject reminded me of a reference to Hexamine Azide. Does this sound familiar to anyone? A search here
yeilded nothing, and PATR 2700 in the "H" section doesn't list it, only hexamine styphnate. I will continue to look for information on it.

Hydrazine Azide, N2H4*HN3 can be prepared by refluxing Hydeazine Sulphate and Sodium Azide in n-Butanol...
Its damn hydroscopic though.
