“…On the other hand, N-heterocycles or N-ligands can also be used as precursors in the synthesis of coordination compounds (Ma et al, 2020(Ma et al, , 2021Mahmudov et al, 2013), and as building blocks in the construction of supramolecular structures as they have both hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor capabilities (Gurbanov et al, 2020a;Kopylovich et al, 2011a,b;Asgarova et al, 2019). In fact, attachment of suitable functional groups to N-ligands can improve their solubility and the catalytic activity of the corresponding coordination compounds (Mizar et al, 2012;Gurbanov et al, 2020b;Khalilov et al, 2011Khalilov et al, , 2018aMaharramov et al, 2019;Shikhaliyev et al, 2019;Shixaliyev et al, 2014). Intermolecular halogen bonds and other types of non-covalent interactions in halogenated N-heterocyclic compounds can improve their solubility and other functional properties.…”
