“…This class of organic compounds was discovered in the middle of the 20 th century. 13 These compounds exhibit different biological activity, in particular hypoglycemic, antimicrobial, fungicidal, antiviral, antiinflammatory, and antitumor. [14][15][16] In our previous studies, the physicochemical properties of the new reagents: 5-hydroxyimino-4-imino-1,3thiazo lidin-2-one (HITO), 4-[N'-(4-imino-2-oxo-thiazolidin-5-ylidene)-hydrazino]-benzenesulfonic acid and 1-(5-benzylthiazol-2-yl)azonaphthalen-2-ol, which belong to the class of azolidones, and the interaction of Pd(II), Rh(III), Pt(IV), Ir(IV), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), and Hg(II) ions with these reagents were investigated [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and the methods of their determination with good metrological characteristics were proposed.…”
