Safe and efficient hydrogen storage is a major obstacle for using hydrogen as an energy carrier. Therefore, intensive efforts have been focused on the development of new materials for chemical hydrogen storage. Of particular importance, hydrazine borane (N(2)H(4)BH(3)) is emerging as one of the most promising solid hydrogen carriers due to its high gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity (15.4 wt...

Isoniazid (INH), a widely used drug in the prophylaxis and treatment of tuberculosis, is associated with a 1 to 2% risk of severe and potentially fatal hepatotoxicity. There is evidence that the INH metabolite hydrazine plays an important role in the mechanism of this toxicity. Metabolism of INH leads to the production of hydrazine via both direct and indirect pathways. In both cases, the activ...

Hydrazine and its derivatives play an important role as ligands in coordination chemistry [1], Hy­ drazine complexes may occur as intermediates in ni­ trogen fixation and related processes [2]. Although a variety of hydrazine complexes are known the electronic spectra and photoreactivity of such com­ pounds have not yet been studied. Owing to its pe­ culiar electronic structure and redox behavi...

A simplified, single-step aqueous synthesis route to tunable anisotropic silver nanocrystals (NCs) has been developed by tailoring the hydrogen-bonding interactions between a mild stabilizer, sodium citrate, and a mild reductant, hydrazine hydrate. The structure directing ability of the H-bonding interaction was harnessed by keeping a stoichiometric excess of hydrazine under ambient conditions ...

Background: A facile and sensitive electrochemical sensor platform has been explored based on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) dispersed in amine-functionalized three-dimensional (3D) silicate sol–gel network for ((aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APS)-Au NPs) for multi-analytes such as hydrazine, sulfite, and nitrite. Methods: Au NPs dispersed silicate network was prepared via a single-step chemical re...

Hydrazine can support a rapid oxygen uptake in illuminated chloroplasts. The oxygen uptake rate is inhibited by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea but is only slightly increased by added methyl viologen, and little H(2)O(2) is produced. The pH optimum for hydrazine-dependent oxygen uptake is much higher than that of the Hill reaction. Addition of Mn (II) increases the rate of oxygen uptak...

In the present paper, the electrochemical properties of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) as highly sensitive sensors for the simultaneous determination of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was described. The electrochemical behavior of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and differentia...
