A novel series of esters 8-10 and hydrazones 4-6 was synthesized from 4-aryl-2-phenacylidene-1,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-b][1,4]diazepine (1-3). Subsequent treatment of hydrazone 4 with p-chlorbenzaldehyde furnished azine 7. Long-standing heating of ester 8 with hydrazine hydrate afforded 3-[1-(p-chlorophenylene)-2-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-ethyl]-1,3-dihydroimidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one (11). ...

azine that we hope will keep AAAI members informed about AI efforts around the world. The Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence now serves a global audience, and our members, meeting participants, councilors, and officers reside in countries throughout the world. Worldwide AI is designed to meet our expanded audience’s interests. In the columns that will appear in this and ...

We present ab initio Hartree-Fock lattice calculations on adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine, and some pyrimidines, including cytosine and uracil derivatives. The electric field gradients at the nitrogen centres are related to NQR experimental determinations of nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. The calculations were performed as lattice calculations in the unit cell environment, with 6-31G ...

Hydrogen evolution from photocatalytic reduction of water holds promise as a sustainable source of carbon-free energy. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) present an interesting new class of photoactive materials, which combine three key features relevant to the photocatalytic process, namely crystallinity, porosity and tunability. Here we synthesize a series of water- and photostable 2D azine-l...

Present study describes the development of a rapid, sensitive and selective flow injection analysis of hydrazine in the aqueous streams of purex process by liquid chromatography system coupled with UV-Visible detector. The method is based on the formation of yellow coloured azine complex by reaction of hydrazine with para-dimethy laminobenzaldehyde (pDMAB). The formed yellow coloured complex is...
