Alkali metals solubility in liquid hydrazine, phosphane and diphosphane[edit]
What data are there regarding the solubility of alkali metals like sodium, lithium, etc, in liquid hydrazine and liquid phosphanes like phosphane PH3 and diphosphane P2H4? This question re solubility of alkali metals has as starting point the (comparison with) solubility of sodium in liquid ammonia (azane)! Thanks!--185.53.196.75 (talk) 18:11, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Standard practice would be: "find a less dangerous process!" Rmhermen (talk) 18:06, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- That's not really useful. Dissolving metal reduction is a standard process, as well as being the classical starting point for a bunch of other radical reducing-agents, strong bases, and radical-initiators. DMacks (talk) 19:57, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
