Abstract

Metal-azide-metal-acetylide cycloaddition (iClick) reactions to synthesize heterotrimetallics and an unexpected novel tetranuclear gold(I) complex, are described. In addition, a discussion regarding the connection between traditional azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions and iClick is presented focusing on applications towards linking multiple metal ions.
