Unusual coordination of a 1,2,3-triazolyl-pyridine ligand in a Pd(ii) complex: application in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction

A modified “click” reaction between 2-azidopyridine and di(prop-2-yn-1-yl)phthalate [dpp] (2) produces a novel bis(1,2,3-triazolyl-pyridine) ligand on an ortho -phthalic acid platform [bptmp] (3).
