Effects of the aldehyde-derived ring substituent on the properties of two new bioinspired trimethoxybenzoylhydrazones: methyl vs nitro groups.

-Acylhydrazones are a versatile class of organic compounds with a diversity of potential applications. In this study, two new structure-related 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl-containing -acylhydrazones were synthesized and fully characterized, both in solution and in the solid state. The compounds differ with respect to the carbonyl precursors, i.
