Polymer-bound 1-aryl-3-alkyltriazenes as modular ligands for catalysis.: Part 1:: Synthesis and metal coordination

A range of di- and tri-substituted triazenes have been synthesized from a polymer-supported diazonium salt and various primary and secondary amines. The triazenes obtained were treated with transition metal salts to form polymer-supported metal complexes in firstly a general screen and then in a specific manner.
