“…Often imidazolium salts are used, but recently more and more triazolederived carbenes have been reported. Thus, syntheses and structures of 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene transition metal complexes [21,22], even di-NHC complexes derived from the 1,2,4-trimethyl-1,2,4-triazolium dica-tion [23], have been published. Only a few examples of heteroatom N-substituted triazole-based carbenes are known, such as N-alkyloxy-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene [24] and N-dialkylamino-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene [25] systems.…”
