Sodium azide is a cytochrome oxidase inhibitor that acts as a nitridizing agent and an inhibitor of terminal oxidation. This inhibition leads Sodium azide to possess bacteriostatic properties. In automobile airbags, Sodium azide serves as a source to generate gas. Sodium azide may also inhibit oxidative phosphorylation as a metabolic inhibitor. Sodium azide is also widely used in both organic and inorganic synthesis to add an azide group to a desired compound. For example, Sodium azide may be used as a reagent in the synthesis of blue fluorescent copolymers, metal phosphonates, and arenes. In oxidative decarboxylation and Michael addition reactions, Sodium azide may be used as a catalyst.
