Succinic dihydrazide (SDH) is an important organic compound used as aqueous coating auxiliary, epoxy cross-linking agent, deoxidiser, textile auxiliary, and biochemical reagent, mainly in laboratory organic synthesis processes and in research and development in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. SDH has been shown to be a nitrogen atom donor for the preparation of nitride [M(N)]-complexes (M = 99mTc and 188Re)[1].
