title: Access to functionalised silver(I) and gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbenes by [2 + 3] dipolar cycloadditions.
abstract: A new strategy was developed for the modification of silver(I) and gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbenes. Azido groups were grafted and used either by copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition before metallation or by thermal and "strain-promoted" 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition after metallation to functionalise the metal-NHCs.
