Stubbs Alkynylcopper(I) polymers and their use in a mechanistic study of alkyne-azide click reactions Loughborough University 2014 untagged Chemical Sciences not elsewhere classified 2014-01-14 15:14:17 Journal contribution https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Alkynylcopper_I_polymers_and_their_use_in_a_mechanistic_study_of_alkyne-azide_click_reactions/9395279 Polymeric dinuclear alkynylcopper(I) complexes, for example phenylethynylcopper(I), can be prepared by a robust method involving the interaction of terminal alkynes with copper(II) salts in acetonitrile. The use of the ladder polymers provides heterogeneous catalysts for copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions and provides important mechanistic information.
