“…Metal complexes of 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidenes are used as catalysts in a variety of catalytic transformations [16,17,18,19,20,21]. For example, copper( i ) complexes have been found to be potent catalysts for the “click” reaction [29,30,31,32,33,34], while cyclization reactions can be performed using gold( i ) 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene complexes as catalysts [14,28,35,36,37,38,39,40,41]. Iridium( iii ) complexes were shown to be efficient catalysts in water oxidation reactions [9,42,43,44,45] as well as other oxidation reactions and transfer hydrogenations [46,47,48,49,50,51], which are also catalyzed by ruthenium( ii ) and osmium( ii ) complexes [46,47,49,50,52,53,54,55,56,57,58].…”
