The dimethylazamine fragments in eq 3 could then combine to give tetramethyl-2-tetrazene, or the free radicals formed in eq 2 might combine to yield 1,1,4,4-tetramethyltetrazane, which could be further dehydrogenated'O by chloramine to give tetramethyl-2-tetrazene. The NH3+ species shown in eq 2 may then either react with the radicals formed in (2) to yield the dimethylazamine radical, (CH&NN
