Their structures were determined by FT-IR, UV-Vis spectra, 1H NMR and HR MS. Research on biological activity of title compounds shows L3, L5, 3 and 5 demonstrate potent inhibitory activity against Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) and low in vitro cytotoxic activity against Hep-2 cell lines. The covalent linkage between the iodobenzoyldiazenido components and POMs can enhance the molecular inhibitory efficiency of iodobenzoyl hydrazides.
