title: 4,5-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazolate: the elusive member of a family of bridging ligands that facilitate strong metal-metal interactions.
abstract: The new click-adduct 4,5-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole acts as a doubly-chelating anionic bridging ligand that forms dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes which exhibit strong metal-metal interactions.
