“…[26,27] Salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone and analogous aroyl hydrazones have been studied as chelating agents to mobilize iron for iron-overload therapy, [28,29] and their transition metal complexes possess antitumour properties. [30][31][32][33] Many hydrazones and their transition metal complexes are used as antibacterial, antiviral, antitubercular, [34] antimycobacterial [35] and antifungal agents, [36,37] and in industry they are employed as plasticizers [38] and catalysts. [39][40][41] N-acyl and N-aroyl hydrazones of salicylaldehyde [42][43][44][45][46] (Figure 3) can form 2:2 copper(II) complexes as tridentate ligands with the phenolate oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and enolimide oxygen atoms defining the binding site.…”
