title: Carbon-rich "Click" 1,2,3-triazoles: hexaphenylbenzene and hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-based ligands for Suzuki-Miyaura catalysts.
abstract: Hexaphenylbenzene (HPB) and hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene-(HBC) functionalised 1,2,3-triazoles have been synthesised using an optimised copper(i)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The coordination chemistry of these ligands was explored through the synthesis of the respective palladium(ii) complexes and their activity as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction assessed.
