Benzohydrazide derivatives 1-43 were synthesized via "one-pot" reaction and structural characterization of these synthetic derivatives was carried out by different spectroscopic techniques such as 1H NMR and EI-MS. The synthetic molecules were evaluated for their in vitro urease inhibitory activity.

The reaction of PhBCl2 with 1H-1,2,4-λ(3)-diazaphosphole in the presence of NEt3 gives a new scorpionate ligand, phenyl-tris(1,2,4-diazaphospholyl)borate (PhTdap). The coordination behaviour of this ligand toward transition and non-transition metals has been comprehensively studied. In the thallium(I) complex, Tl(PhTdap), κ(2)-N,N bonding
