Azoles are nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen-containing compounds with a five-membered ring system that comprises thiadiazole, oxadiazole, triazole, imidazole, isoxazole, pyrazole, and other rings. Mainly known as antifungal agents, azole derivatives demonstrate many other biological properties including antidiabetic, immunosuppressant, antiinflammatory, and anticancer activities. Azoles also exhibit α-glucosidase inhibition, which include derivatives of thiadiazoles, oxadiazoles, triazoles, diamine-bridged coumarinyl oxadiazole conjugates with phenylenediamine, benzidine and 4,4′-oxydianiline linkers, and 5,6-diaryl-1,2,4-triazine thiazoles.
For example, MAPbI₃ crystallizes in a tetragonal perovskite structure at room temperature, consisting of PbI₆ octahedra sharing corners, with MA⁺ cations occupying the interstitial spaces. Variants of the perovskite structure also exist: for instance, layered (2D) perovskites have alternating organic and inorganic sheets (formula A₂BX₄), and “double” perovskites (e.g. A₂BB′X₆) replace Pb²⁺ by a combination of a monovalent and trivalent cation to eliminate lead. However, the defining feature of halide perovskites is the 3D corner-sharing BX₆ framework with monovalent A ions in the cavities
