white to grey-beige crystalline powder
Thiocarbohydrazide is used in electron microscopy to produce electron-opaque deposits for ultra structural analysis. It is used in the synthesis of oxazine grass ketones.
ChEBI: Thiocarbohydrazide is a thiocarbonyl compound.
Crystalline needles and plates. Used in electron microscopy to produce electron-opaque deposits for ultra structural analysis.
Thiocarbohydrazide is a thioamide, which may behave as a weak base and therefore will react with acids forming salts with production of heat. Thiocarbohydrazide may react with acids and reducing agents to form toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. This may be vigorous depending on the nature of the reducing agent. Organic amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
When heated to decomposition Thiocarbohydrazide emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.
