• Z represents an optionally substituted 4- to 12-membered saturated or unsaturated, monocyclic or bicyclic, heterocyclic grouping which contains 1 to 4 hetero atoms (up to 4 nitrogen atoms and optionally—alternatively or additionally—one oxygen atom or one sulphur atom, or one SO grouping or one SO2 grouping), and which contains additionally one to three oxo groups (C═O) and/or thioxo groups (C═S) as components of the heterocycle,
• including all possible tautomeric and, if appropriate, possible stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the general formula (I), and the possible salts or metal-coordinated derivatives of the compounds of the formula (I).
