Azodicarboxamides (R(2)NCON=NCONR(2)) are shown to act as new templates for the assembly of unprecedented azo-functionalized hydrogen-bond-assembled [2]rotaxanes. Moreover, these binding sites can be reversibly and efficiently interconverted with their hydrazo forms through a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation strategy of the nitrogen-nitrogen bond. This

Recently doubts have arisen on the usefulness of semicarbazide as marker residue for the illegal use of the antibiotic nitrofurazone (NFZ) in aquaculture and poultry production. Most notably azodicarbonamide (ADC) has been implicated as an alternative source of semicarbazide. ADC
