Abstract:
Hydrazones and their derivatives are closely related to imine compounds and are potential antimicrobial agents. They have also found application in supramolecular chemistry as multitopic ligands to link multiple metal centres for the design of hybrid molecular frameworks. The molecule of the title compound, C6H8N4, consists of an imine linkage with an N-N bond length of 1.3540 (14) Å. This asymmetric compound is nearly planar and adopts an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. In the solid state, there are two intermolecular N-H...N interactions that interconnect the molecules into a two-dimensional network. The three-dimensional arrangement of the crystal packing is further stabilized by intermolecular π-π interactions interconnecting the centroids of the heterocyclic rings.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
