Study of the Interaction of Hydrazine, Methylhydrazine, and Unsym-Dimethylhydrazine with Porphyrins, Metalloporphyrins and Some Metal Coordination Compounds.

Abstract

Trisodium pentacyanoferrate (TPF) forms derivatives with hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and unsym-dimethylhydrazine. Each of these derivatives are similar in color and each of the derivatives have similar visible spectra. Separation of these derivatives by HPLC could offer a rapid analytical method of determining the composition of mixtures of the hydrazines. The photoreduction of Zn-tetraphenylporphyrin (Zn-TPP) with hydrazine, methylhydrazine, and unsym-dimethylhydrazine in pyridine was investigated. Results indicate that the presence of hydrazine in mixture with methylhydrazine, and unsym-dimethylhydrazine can be confirmed due to the formation of a unique color that is not produced when Zn-TPP is photoreduced with methylhydrazine, and unsym-dimethylhydrazine. Organometallic compounds more sensitive to reduction by hydrazine and porphyrin derivatives that may possibly form hydrazone derivatives with hydrazine are currently being investigated. (Author)
