Conversion of Ammonia to Hydrazine Induced by High-Frequency Ultrasound.

Hydrazine is a chemical of utmost importance in our society, either for organic synthesis or energy use. The direct conversion of NH to hydrazine is highly appealing, but it remains a very difficult task because the degradation of hydrazine is thermodynamically more feasible than the cleavage of the N-H bond of NH . As a result, any catalyst capable of activating NH will thus unavoidably decompose N H .
