The title compound, C(12)H(11)N(3)O(2), adopts an E or trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond involving the hydroxyl H atom and an N atom of the hydrazine group. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

lanthanide(iii) chloro complexes of 4[n-(4’-hydroxy-3’-methoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (hmbaaps) (i) and 4[n-(3’,4’,5’-trimethoxybenzalidene) amino] antipyrine semicarbazone (tmbaaps) (ii) with the general composition lncl3.2l (ln = la, pr, nd, sm, gd, tb, dy or ho; l = hmbaaps or tmbaaps) are reported. all the complexes were synthesized in ethanolic medium and refluxed the ...

In the title compound, C(13)H(12)N(4)O, the semicarbazone fragment links a benzene and a pyridine ring in the structure. The crystal packing is stabilized by strong inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which connect two mol-ecules to form a synthon unit, and by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. The mol-ecular conformation is stabil-ized by intra-molecular N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter...

The title compound, C(9)H(11)N(3)OS, was prepared by the reaction of 3-methoxy-benzaldehyde and thio-semicarbazide. The benzyl-idene ring and the thio-semicarbazone fragment are slightly twisted, making a dihedral angle of 14.1 (1)°. A weak intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond may influence the conformation of the mol-ecule. Inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds build up a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(9)N(4)S(2))Cl], the Ni atom is in a slightly distorted square-planar environment coordinated by a Cl atom and a deprotonated thio-semicarbazone ligand via its thia-zoline N, azomethine N and thiol-ate S atoms. Short inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯S contacts are present in the crystal structure.

Previously it has been shown that Furacin (5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone) inhibited the dismutation of pyruvate by whole resting cells of Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus (1). Other earlier studies have also shown that both pyruvate dismutation and the formation of acetylmethylcarbinol (AMC) by cell-free extracts of pigeon breast muscle were markedly inhibited by Furacin (2). We are repor...
