Azo Bond Reduction of N,N-diaryl Adipyl Bis-azo Compounds with Hydrazine Hydrate

Reduction of a series of N,N＇-diaryl adipyl bis-azo compounds using hydrazine hydrate as reductant was investigated. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR methods and confirmed to be N,N＇-diaryl adipyl dihydrazine. The results show that hydrazine hydrate can selectively reduce azo bonds with other potential reducible bonds intact in the N,N＇-diaryl adipyl bis-azo compounds. The yields are high up to 92% under mild reaction conditions. According to the previous reports, this reduction process was attributed to an indirect reduction mechanism through an intermediate diimide.

Novel conductive metallo-supramolecular polymer AIE gel for multi-channel highly sensitive detection of hydrazine hydrate

Hydrazine hydrate(DH)is an important fine chemical intermediate and as fuel for rockets,however,it also has serious toxic for humans and environment.Developing novel materials and methods for sensitive detection of DH in water and air is an important task.In order to effectively detect DH,a novel conductive supramolecular polymer metallogel(PQ-Ag)has been constructed by the coordination of bis-5-hydroxyquinoline functionalized pillar[5]arene(PQ5)with Ag+.The metallogel PQ-Ag could realize the multi-channel sensitive detection of DH through naked-eye,fluorescence,and electrochemical methods.The lowest limit of detection(LOD)is 0.1 mg/m^(3)in air and 2.68×10^(−8)mol/L in water,which is lower than the standard of the US Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)for DH of maximum allowable concentration in drinking water.More importantly,an electronic device for DH detection based on the metallogel PQ-Ag was designed and prepared,which can realize conveniently and efficiently multi-channel detection and alert of DH through sound and light alarms not only in water but also in air.

Effect of reducing agents on the structure of zinc oxide under microwave irradiation

Zinc oxide was synthesized from zinc sulphate using different reducing agents under microwave irradia- tion. The influence of sodium borohydride, hydrazine hydrate and urea on the shape and size of the products were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）.
