The 1,2,3-triazole ring represents a highly attractive and useful platform for ligand synthesis. In this work, we reveal the design, preparation, and properties of a novel bidentate triazolatebased ligand and its potential in cooperative metal−ligand bond activation. Our triazolate system exhibits a multiphase mode of coordination to transition metals, supporting both dimeric and monomeric complexes. The complexes were carefully characterized both in solution and in the solid state. The metal−ligand cooperative potential of the basic triazolate pattern was demonstrated in HCl and H−H bond activation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
