Barium azide Ba(N3)2 is an inorganic azide, is explosive, but less sensitive to mechanical shock than lead azide.
Can be used to make azides of magnesium (but its hydrolytic tendency frustrated efforts to isolate it), sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium and zinc with their respective sulfates.
It can also be used in the preparation of extra pure nitrogen on heating:
This reaction also liberates metallic barium, used as a getter in vacuum applications.
