68132-00-3[N-]=[N+]=[N-]IVRMZWNICZWHMI-UHFFFAOYSA-NAzide anion is a pseudohalide anion. It has a role as a mitochondrial respiratory-chain inhibitor. It is a conjugate base of a hydrogen azide.
68132-00-3CHEMBL79455CHEBI:40910All azide salts are unstable, and some explode after heat or shock. Organic azides are sensitized by metal salts or strong acids. Azides emit toxic fumes when heated to decomposition. [Sax] The azide group (N3) has an affinity for ferric iron in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase. Like cyanide poisoning, azide poisoning disrupts cellular aerobic metabolism. [AHLS, p. 202] Most of the fulminates and azides of heavy metals are sensitive explosives. These materials do not make efficient explosives; their sole attraction is their sensitivity. [Reference #1] See Sodium azide.
