Graphical Abstract
Click snapshot: In an aprotic medium, a copper(I) triazolide complex is synthesized from a sterically hindered copper acetylide and an organoazide (see scheme: yellow Cu, blue N, dark gray C, gray H). This result provides direct evidence for such a complex, which had previously been hypothesized.

- 13Cross experiments are in progress to rule out fast, reversible NHC dissociation, acetylide ligand exchange, and formation of dinuclear complexes.
- 14With a π-acceptor ligand instead of a strong donor ligand, such as an N-heterocyclic carbene, a coordination number of 3 at a 16-valence-electron copper complex would certainly be a viable alternative for intermediates in click catalysis.
