Abstract

The salts of hydrazine or methyl derivatives of hydrazine were prepared by neutralization of the base with inorganic acids, for instance, HBF4, HClO4, H SO4, and HCl. Upon recrystallization of the product from a suitable solvent, X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained. Hydrazine tetrafluoborate H2N-NH2·HBF4 was found to crystallize in the monoclinic system. Cell dimensions and possible space groups were determined. The corresponding perchlorate salt crystallizes in two forms, one of which is isomorphous with hydrazine tetrafluoborate. The second form seems to be stabilized by small amounts of water.

The tetrafluoborate salt was prepared from the 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine. It was found to crystallize in the tetragonal system with a primitive unit cell. The perchlorate salt of this base is isomorphous with the fluoborate but with a slightly larger unit cell. Both materials undergo plastic-like deformation. The general appearance and mechanical properties are similar to those of a hydrocarbon wax. The 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine sulfate and the 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine hydrochloride have a lower symmetry than the HBF4 salt and do not show the wax-like properties of the latter. Based on the study of these chemically related compounds an explanation is offered for the properties of 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine tetrafluoborate in terms of crystalline structure.
