Abstract
A METHOD of synthesizing this interesting compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, by means of a simple reaction involving only purely inorganic substances, has been discovered by Prof. Wislicenus, and is described by him in a communication to the current number (No. 12) of the Berichte of the German Chemical Society. The reactions by which azoimide has hitherto been obtained have all been of an organic nature, and more or less complicated. The mode of preparation described by its original discoverer, Prof. Curtius, in reality depends upon a very simple reaction, that of nitrous acid upon hydrazine, N2H4, the other hydride of nitrogen whose preparation we also owe to Prof. Curtius,
