Silver Hydrazine Nitrate?
I recently got a shipment of Hydrazine Sulfate, and immediately went to making Hydrazine Hydrate. I ended up dissolving it in denatured alcohol. I got
an idea - If I don't have Nickel Nitrate to make NHN, then why the heck can't I use Silver nitrate? I prepared a denatured alcohol/silver nitrate
solution and dripped the alcoholic HH solution into the Alcohol/AgNO3 solution. In videos on YT, I've always seen a chalky precipitate, but that's
hardly what I got. Mine was spongy. The color changed from a clear solution to pitch black. Please, tell me what happens if any of you folks try this.
I'd be quite interested to know!

Your hydrazine reduced your Ag<sup>+</sup> to Ag<sup>0</sup>.

Yes,it will make Ag2O and then Ag metal.

Oh dear.
Well, how can I make SHN, or is it impossible to do so? Thoughts?
Thanks for the info, BTW. It really helps out.

Ummm. If it could be done, sounds wildly explosive.
I'd look for a known, reliable procedure. Unless of course, you have a spare set of hands.

Looks similar to the procedure you fancy, and is known. Appears to produce colloidal silver.
Or, perhaps colloidal Silver Chloride, in their case.

Silver ion and hydrazine in one compound? I hardly can believe that such a beast exists at room temperature. The silver ion immediately would be
reduced to metallic silver. The experience of Tetra confirms this.

Would Tetra possibly have better luck moving further up the reactivity series, such as a copper or lead hydrazine nitrate? Or is nickel special?

I think copper is also reduced by hydrazine.

Well, one can only dream.
I hope you weren't being sarcastic. I'm just working with what I have, which isn't all that much.
