Hydrazones are very important group of analytical regents for the determination of various metal ions by using various analytical techniques. Besides this use of hydrazones are also having biological activities also. In this paper we first discussed about the chemical nature of hydrazones and their biological activities. We mainly focused on the papers which were published during 1980-2011 on analytical applications (spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric) of hydrazones. We gave the total established conditions for the determination of various metal ions with hydrazones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
