[reaction: see text] The promising utility of triazolyl N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts in umpolung aldehyde chemistry requires a straightforward reliable synthesis from readily available materials. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a variety of triazolyl N-heterocyclic carbene precursors. The reactions commence from commercially available amino acids and proceed in 44-68% overall yields. The N-heterocyclic salts are air-stable crystalline solids that can be stored with no special precaution and can generate the active catalyst when treated with an appropriate base.

Organometallic Rh(Cp*) (Cp* = η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) complexes with monodentate -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands bearing a pendant anthracenyl substituent have been shown to undergo intramolecular C-C coupling reactions. Herein, two bidentate NHC ligands substituted with pyridyl or triazolyl donor groups were prepared along with the corresponding M (M = Ru, Os, Rh, Ir) complexes. While the Rh(Cp*) complex featuring an NHC-triazole bidentate ligand underwent the equivalent reaction as the monodentate Rh(NHC) complex, , it formed a polydentate ligand, the pyridyl-pendant derivative was unequivocally shown to be unreactive.

Bicyclic triazolium scaffolds are widely employed in -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) organocatalysis. While the incorporation of a fused ring was initially for synthetic utility in accessing chiral, modular triazolyl scaffolds, recent results highlight the potential for impact upon reaction outcome with the underpinning origins unclear. The common first step to all triazolium-catalyzed transformations is C(3)-H deprotonation to form the triazolylidene NHC.

The syntheses and photophysical characterization of five new gold(I) complexes bearing diphenylamine-substituted fluorenyl moieties are reported; four are characterized by X-ray diffraction crystallography. Ancillary ligation on gold(I) is provided by organophosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Two complexes, and , are σ-aryls, two, and , are σ-alkynyls, and one, is a σ-triazolyl bound through carbon.

We report investigations on the anticancer activity of organometallic [M (η -p-cymene/η -pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)] (M=Ru, Os, Rh, and Ir) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) substituted with a triazolyl moiety. Depending on the precursors, the NHC ligands displayed either mono- or bidentate coordination via the NHC carbon atom or as N,C-donors. The metal complexes were investigated for their stability in aqueous solution, with the interpretation supported by density functional theory calculations, and reactivity to biomolecules.

Four polyoxometalate (POM)-based Cu complexes with the hydroxylated pyridine analogue 3-(2-hydroxylpyrid-4-yl)-5-(1-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazolyl (btpo), H{[Cu(btpo)](PWO)}·2HO (), H{[Cu(btpo)](PMoO)}·2HO (), H{[Cu(btpo)](SiWO)·SO (), and H{[Cu(btpo)](SiWO)}·8HO (), were synthesized hydrothermally under acid conditions. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis reveals that 3-(pyrid-4-yl)-5-(1-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1,2,4-triazolyl was hydroxylated into btpo in compounds -, again providing structural evidence for the Gillard mechanism, in which HO as a weak nucleophile can attack the α-C atom of N-heterocyclic molecules at a lower pH value (ca. 1.
