I recently got a shipment of Hydrazine Sulfate, and immediately went to making Hydrazine Hydrate. I ended up dissolving it in denatured alcohol. I got
an idea - If I don't have Nickel Nitrate to make NHN, then why the heck can't I use Silver nitrate? I prepared a denatured alcohol/silver nitrate
solution and dripped the alcoholic HH solution into the Alcohol/AgNO3 solution. In videos on YT, I've always seen a chalky precipitate, but that's
hardly what I got. Mine was spongy. The color changed from a clear solution to pitch black. Please, tell me what happens if any of you folks try this.
I'd be quite interested to know! BromicAcid - 29-9-2015 at 19:44
Your hydrazine reduced your Ag<sup>+</sup> to Ag<sup>0</sup>.kecskesajt - 30-9-2015 at 07:52
Yes,it will make Ag2O and then Ag metal.Rhodanide - 6-10-2015 at 15:25
Looks similar to the procedure you fancy, and is known. Appears to produce colloidal silver.
Or, perhaps colloidal Silver Chloride, in their case.

Silver ion and hydrazine in one compound? I hardly can believe that such a beast exists at room temperature. The silver ion immediately would be
reduced to metallic silver. The experience of Tetra confirms this.Amos - 7-10-2015 at 12:14
Would Tetra possibly have better luck moving further up the reactivity series, such as a copper or lead hydrazine nitrate? Or is nickel special?

I think copper is also reduced by hydrazine.Rhodanide - 13-10-2015 at 10:01

Well, one can only dream.
I hope you weren't being sarcastic. I'm just working with what I have, which isn't all that much.
