(E)-2-(4-Benzyloxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)- N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide

The title compound, C21H19N3O2S, exists in the thione form. The configuration about the C N bond is E. The hydrazinecarbothioamide unit adopts an almost planar arrangement, with maximum deviations of 0.016 (3) and 0.016 (2) A ° for the two thiourea N atoms. An intramolecular O—H N hydrogen bond occurs. Weak intermolecular N— H S, C—H O and C—H interactions are observed in the crystal structure

(Z)-N,N-Dimethyl-2-[phenyl(pyridin-2- yl)methylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide

The title compound, C15H16N4S, exists in the Z conformation with the thionyl S atom lying cis to the azomethine N atom. The shortening of the N—N distance [1.3697 (17) A ° ] is due to extensive delocalization with the pyridine ring. The hydrazine– carbothioamide unit is almost planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (2) A ° for the amide N atom. The stability of this conformation is favoured by the formation of an intramolecular N—H N hydrogen bond. The packing of the molecules involves no classical intermolecular hydrogenbonding interactions; however, a C—H interaction occurs

N0-[(E)-Furan-2-ylmethylidene]pyridine- 3-carbohydrazide

The title compound, C11H9N3O2, exists in the E conformation with respect to the azomethane C N bond, and has the keto form. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit and each of these features a slight slanting of the pyridine and furan rings, which form a dihedral angle of 14.96 (10) in one of the molecules and 5.53 (10) in the other. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H O and N—H N hydrogen bonds, weak C—H O and C—H N hydrogen bonds and C—H interactions and – interactions [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.7864 (15) A ° ].

Singlet Oxygen in Microporous Silica Xerogel:Quantum Yield and Oxidation at the Gas–Solid Interface

The quantum yields of singlet oxygen production and lifetimes at the gas–solid interface in silica gel material are determined. Different photosensitizers (PS) are encapsulated in parallelepipedic xerogel monoliths (PS-SG). PS were chosen according to their known photooxidation properties: 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA), 9,10-anthraquinone (ANT), and a benzophenone derivative, 4-benzoyl benzoic acid (4BB). These experiments are mainly based on time-resolved 1O2 phosphorescence detection, and the obtained FD and tD values are compared with those of a reference sensitizer for production, 1H-phenalen-1- one (PN), included in the same xerogel. The trend between their ability to oxidize organic pollutants in the gas phase and their efficiency for production is investigated through photooxidation experiments of a test pollutant dimethylsulfide (DMS). The FD value is high for DCA-SG relative to the PN reference, whereas it is slightly lower for 4BB-SG and for ANT-SG. FD is related to the production of sulfoxide and sulfone as the main oxidation products for DMS photosensitized oxidation. Additional mechanisms, leading to C!S bond cleaveage, appear to mainly occur for the less efficient singlet oxygen sensitizers 4BB-SG and ANTSG.

Amidino Thiourea as a Secondary Accelerator in Rubber Vulcanization

Earlier studies5773 in our laboratory showed that when a nucleophile is used along with disulphide or sulphenamide accelerators the vulcanization is accelerated greatly and the reaction mechanism is generally nucleophilic in nature. However it was observed that it also changes with the systems under review. The present study, deals with the use of unsubstituted amidino thiourea i.e. aminoimino methyl thiourea(AMT) V in the vulcanization studies of different elastorners and their blends. One of the aims of this study was to get further proof with regard to the theory of nucleophilic reaction mechanism in such binary systems.Mixes containing thiourea are used as controls. AMT is more nucleophilic than TU and this is clear from the fact that the fonner can condense with isothiocynate even in the absence of alkali while TU cannot". Also the guanidinyl group in AMT can facilitate the polarization of the C=S bond favouring a nucleophilic reaction
