“…Metal complexes containing the 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde ramification are one of the most fundamental chelating systems in coordination chemistry. Their interesting chemical and physical properties and their wide-ranging applications in numerous scientific areas have been explored widely (Han 2008;Ghelenji et al, 2011;Kia et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2013Zhang et al, , 2014aZhao et al, 2014). During the last few years, we have investigated the chemistry of 3d metal complexes of 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde ramification ligands with the aim of preparing mono-and heterometallic polynuclear clusters or polymers (Zhang et al, 2011(Zhang et al, , 2013(Zhang et al, , 2014aZhao et al, 2014).…”
