Carbazide

In chemistry, a carbazide is a functional group with the general formula RNH-NH(C=O)NH-NHR. They can be derived from the condensation of carbonic acid with a hydrazine. Carbohydrazide is the simplest carbazide, with another common carbazide being diphenylcarbazide, which is used as an analytical reagent.[1]

Carbohydrazide, the simplest carbazide
Diphenylcarbazide

Diphenylcarbazide forms an intense blue color with chromium in the hexavalent state. It has an absorptivity coefficient about 3400. That means very small amounts of chromium can be detected; 25 micrograms in 25 mL of solution are too dark to read on a spectral device, so concentrations well below that can be detected.

Thiocarbazide

The sulfur analog is called a thiocarbazide, of which thiocarbohydrazide is the simplest example.

Carbazone and thiocarbazone

A carbazone is a partially oxidized carbazide with the general formula R=NNH(C=O)NH-NHR. The sulfur analog is called a thiocarbazone, of which dithizone is an example.

gollark: Yes, I plan to not do so.
gollark: It sound unpleasant to just randomly have important brain things not work.
gollark: It seems like basically just "hahahaha lololol your brain is partly nonfunctional and also so is your liver now".
gollark: Done!
gollark: Doing so...
