• New thiosemicarbazones derived from 5-acetylbarbituric acid were characterized by XRD. The crystal packing of compounds is directed non-covalent interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis was also applied to intermolecular interactions energetic features the assemblies analyzed using DFT calculations A new series based (TSC) named hydrazine-1-carbothioamide ( 1 ), N-methyl-(5-acetylbarbituric)h...

The synthesis of P-stereogenic bisphosphine ligands starting from a phosphinous acid chiral synthon and hydrazine is reported. The dialkylation of the hydrazine backbone yielded atropo- and nitrogen inversion isomers which are in slow exchange. The crystallization of one of the isomers allowed us to study the reaction kinetics of the equilibria. The new ligands were tested in the Rh catalysed a...

The title mol-ecule (alternative name: pyridine-3-carbohydrazide; C(6)H(7)N(3)O) was obtained from the reaction of ethyl nicotinate with hydrazine hydrate in methanol. In the amide group, the C-N bond is relatively short, suggesting some degree of electronic delocalization in the mol-ecule. The stabilized conformation may be compared with those of isomeric compounds picolinohydrazide (pyridine-...

Electrodes based on arrays of TiO2 nanowires were prepared by template sol-gel synthesis with the goal of developing a hydrazine photoelectrochemical sensor. Experimental conditions were chosen so that the gelation reaction occurred inside the nanopores of track-etched polycarbonate membranes, with consequent filling with TiO2 nanowires. Different procedures for the removal of the template were...

A force field (FF) is reported for hydrazine (N2H4) and organic hydrazine derivatives, including monomethylhydrazine, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, monoethyl hydrazine, and 2-hydroxyethylhydrazine. The FF successfully reproduces a range of equilibrium properties, including vapor–liquid coexistence densities, vapor pressures, enthalpies of vaporization, and critical properties. Several dynamic properti...

The authors report a detailed investigation of the flicker noise (1/f noise) in graphene films obtained from chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and chemical reduction of graphene oxide. The authors find that in the case of polycrystalline graphene films grown by CVD, the grain boundaries and other structural defects are the dominant source of noise by acting as charged trap centres resulting in h...

Herein, we demonstrate a facile approach to synthesize long nickel nanowires and discuss its suitability to replace our commonly used transparent electrode, indium-tin-oxide (ITO), by a hydrazine hydrate reduction method where nickel ions are reduced to nickel atoms in an alkaline solution. The highly purified nickel nanowires show high transparency within the visible region, although the sheet...

We demonstrate reduced graphene oxide as the active material for high-performance molecular sensors. Sensors are fabricated from exfoliated graphene oxide platelets that are deposited to form an ultrathin continuous network. These graphene oxide networks are tunably reduced toward graphene by varying the exposure time to a hydrazine hydrate vapor. The conductance change of the networks upon exp...

PURPOSE Hydrazine is carcinogenic in animals, but there is inadequate evidence to determine if it is carcinogenic in humans. This study aimed to evaluate the association between hydrazine exposure and the risk of lung cancer. METHODS The cause specific mortality rates of a cohort of 427 men who were employed at an English factory that produced hydrazine between 1945 and 1971 were compared wit...
