• with alkynes under click chemistry conditions (Scheme 48) [15]. The products were obtained in high yields (93–99%). Cazin and co-workers systematically investigated the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of a series of six azides with seven terminal alkynes catalyzed by different 1,2,3-triazolylidene–CuCl complexes

• reported neutral 4-halo-1,2,3-triazolylidenes C [43], which had a carbene character with σ-donation at the carbon and a σ-hole at the halogen atom. XB is observed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in their coinage metal complexes. Meanwhile, 4-bromo-1,2,3-triazolylidene can catalyze H/D exchange of

• understand the 1,2,3-triazole based XB donors, model 1,2,3-triazole A, 1,2,3-triazolium B, 1,2,3-triazolylidene complex C-CuI and diiodotriazolium D were calculated by DFT calculations (Figure 9). The calculation results show that σ holes in diiodotriazolium D are mainly located in the elongation of two C–I

• bonds. The DFT calculation also shows that σ hole of in diiodotriazolium D and 1,2,3-triazolium B are comparable, and much larger than the 1,2,3-triazole A and 1,2,3-triazolylidene complex C-CuI due to positive charge effect. Conclusion In summary, we synthesized 4,5-diiodo-1,3-dimesityl-1,2,3

It worth mentioning, that the monometallic complex [IrCl(MIC)(CO)2] (MIC = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazolylidene), which may be considered as the monometallic analogue of complex 5, displays an

• -triazolylidene; Introduction Over the past decade N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have attracted the attention of synthetic and organometallic chemists tremendously [1][2][3][4][5]. NHCs have been proven to be useful as organocatalysts in organic synthesis [6][7][8][9]. They are excellent ligands for transition
