2-Oxo-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile (10) reacted with hydrazine hydrate, phenylisothiocyanate or benzoyl chloride to give derivatives 12, 13 and 15, respectively. The latter two products were treated with hydrazine hydrate to afford pyrozole[3,4-b]quinolines derivatives 14 and 16, respectively. Compound 10 also reacted with acetonitrile dimer or malononitrile dimer to y...

The title compound, C(13)H(12)N(4)OS·0.5C(3)H(7)NO, contains four hydrazine mol-ecules and two solvent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the pyridine and phenyl rings in the hydrazine mol-ecules are 67.51 (16), 68.28 (16), 81.36 (15) and 83.32 (15)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen evolution reaction is catalysed efficiently with precious metals, such as platinum; however, transition metal dichalcogenides have recently emerged as a promising class of materials for electrocatalysis, but these materials still have low activity and durability when compared with precious metals. Here we report a simple one-step scalable approach, where MoOx/MoS2 core-shell nanowires ...

A highly sensitive hydrazine chemical sensor has been fabricated based on a field-effect transistor (FET) by growing vertically-aligned ZnO nanorods directly on silver electrodes. The FET sensor showed a high sensitivity and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 59.175 μA cm(-2)μM(-1) and ~3.86 nM, respectively. This demonstrates a cost effective and low power consuming FET strategy for the detecti...

In this paper, we study how a logical form of scientific modelling that integrates together abduction and induction can be used to understand the functional class of unknown enzymes or inhibitors. We show how we can model, within Abductive Logic Programming (ALP), inhibition in metabolic pathways and use abduction to generate facts about inhibition of enzymes by a particular toxin (e.g. Hydrazi...

A novel biosensor was developed by immobilizing hemoglobin (Hb) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with a composite of ZnO nano-rods and carbon nanofiber (CNF), a strong reducer, hydrazine, was firstly used to evaluate the electrochemical behavior of Hb on Hb/ZnO/CNF/GCE. UV-vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicated the conformational structure of Hb interaction with ZnO/CNF wa...

In the title compound, C(26)H(19)N(3)O, the dimethyl-ene hydrazine (-C=N-N=C-) unit is approximately planar, the torsion angle around the N-N bond being 162.2 (6)°. The phenyl and benzoyl-phenyl rings at one end of the hydrazine unit are aligned at angles of 9.5 (5) and 88.5 (4)°, respectively, with respect to the hydrazine unit, whereas the benzene ring at the other end is twisted by an angle ...

Synthesis and reactivity of iron-dinitrogen complexes have been extensively studied, because the iron atom plays an important role in the industrial and biological nitrogen fixation. As a result, iron-catalyzed reduction of molecular dinitrogen into ammonia has recently been achieved. Here we show that an iron-dinitrogen complex bearing an anionic PNP-pincer ligand works as an effective catalys...

Hydrazine belongs to a group of compounds for which there is evidence that the in vivo genotoxic effects become manifest only upon exposure to toxic dose levels. The present study was performed to investigate whether this phenomenon is also reflected in the pattern of DNA methylation. The induction of N7- and O6-methylguanine (MeGua) was studied in liver DNA of rats, 16 hr after treatment with ...
