Sodium azide-15N3 is a stable, inorganic compound characterized by the presence of the azide ion (N3-) and sodium cation (Na+). The "15N" designation indicates that this compound contains nitrogen-15, a stable isotope of nitrogen, which is often used in various applications, including isotopic labeling in research. Sodium azide itself is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and exhibits a high degree of reactivity, particularly as a source of nitrogen gas upon decomposition. It is commonly used in laboratories and industrial applications, including as a preservative and in the synthesis of other azide compounds. However, sodium azide is also known for its toxicity and potential explosive properties, especially when subjected to heat or shock. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, and it should be stored in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials. The specific isotopic composition of sodium azide-15N3 may also make it valuable in studies involving nitrogen metabolism or in the development of azide-based reactions in organic synthesis.
