title: A metal-complex-tolerant CuAAC 'click' protocol exemplified through the preparation of homo- and mixed-metal-coordinated [2]rotaxanes.
abstract: A series of mono- and bis-metallated [2]rotaxanes has been prepared using a CuAAC 'click' protocol that is compatible with metal-coordinated building blocks and ligands; the methodology provides a general means for appending a metal ion or complex to an organic scaffold via Cu(I)-catalysed 'click' chemistry, even when the molecule contains redox-active or kinetically labile metals or vacant ligand sites.
