“…The coordination ability of hydroxamic acids has led to their extensive use in coordination and supramolecular chemistry (Ś wią tek-Kozłowska et al, 2000;Dobosz et al, 1999). In particular, over the past two decades they have often been used as frameworks of metallacrowns (Golenya et al, 2012a;Safyanova et al, 2015;Stemmler et al, 1999;Jankolovits et al, 2013a,b) and as building blocks of coordination polymers (Gumienna-Kontecka et al, 2007;Golenya et al, 2014;Pavlishchuk et al, 2010Pavlishchuk et al, , 2011. They have also been studied intensively in biology and medicine due to their various biological activities, especially their metal-chelating ability and inhibition of a series of metalloenzymes (Codd, 2008;Griffith et al, 2005;Marmion et al, 2013).…”
