“…Hydrazones are promising ligands from the view point of coordination chemistry because of their ability towards complexation with transition and non-transition metals (Raveendran and Pal, 2009;Galic et al, 2011;Matoga et al, 2012), and the wide range of biological and non-biological properties (Matoga et al, 2011;Suvarapu et al, 2012;Mackova et al, 2012). Among the ligand systems, hydrazones occupy a special place because many transition metal complexes of these ligands have been developed due to their chelating capabilities, structural flexibility, interesting electrical as well as magnetic properties (Rao et al, 1997;Vinuelas-Zahinos et al, 2009;Galic et al, 2011;Sadhukhan et al, 2011;Matoga et al, 2012;Datta et al, 2012). Due to short N-N bond length, the hydrazone ligands act mostly as bidentate (NO) moieties although they have the potential to act as tridentate ligands (ONN) in ligand systems containing groups having other donor sites (e.g., Heterocyclic rings) (Jang et al, 2005).…”
