Overview of Lithium Azide

Lithium Azide (CAS: 302-01-2) is an inorganic azide compound used primarily in chemical research and specialty synthesis. It is valued for its high reactivity as a nitrogen donor and as a precursor for other azide-based compounds in organic and inorganic chemistry.

This compound appears as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and should be handled with care due to its explosive potential when subjected to heat, shock, or friction.
