Two Unprecedented 3‐Connected Three‐Dimensional Networks of Copper(I) Triazolates: In Situ Formation of Ligands by Cycloaddition of Nitriles and Ammonia

One-pot synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles: Hydrothermal treatment of copper(II) ions, ammonia, and nitriles yielded two copper(I) triazolate coordination polymers, the structures of which have unearthed the unprecedented formation of triazolates through the cycloaddition of NH3 and RCN. The polymers exhibit novel network topologies based on trigonal nodes (see picture).
