“…Moreover, azo/hydrazone ligands can also be used as starting materials in the synthesis of coordination and supramolecular compounds (Ma et al, 2020(Ma et al, , 2021Mahmudov et al, 2013;Sutradhar et al, 2015Sutradhar et al, , 2016, and as building blocks in the construction of 1D, 2D or 3D networks owing to their non-covalent bond-donating and acceptor capabilities (Gurbanov et al, 2020a;Kopylovich et al, 2011a,b;Asgarova et al, 2019). In fact, inclusion of suitable substituents to azo/hydrazone ligands can improve their functional properties and the catalytic or biological activity of the corresponding coordination compounds (Mizar et al, 2012;Gurbanov et al, 2020b;Karmakar et al, 2017;Khalilov et al, 2011Khalilov et al, , 2018aMac Leod et al, 2012;Maharramov et al, 2019;Shikhaliyev et al, 2019;Shixaliyev et al, 2014). Thus, the attachment of halogen-containing substituents to azo/hydrazone compounds can improve their functional properties via intermolecular halogen bonding.…”
