Grid 1 displayed monovalent central metal exchange (CME) of CuI for AgI for the first time, as well as the formation of tri-iodide in the crystalline state. These systems were investigated for their magnetic properties. Remarkably, grid 1 showed much higher catalytic activity than the Ag-exchanged product for synthesis of a substituted triazole, 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole.8enPost-Synthetic Monovalent Central-Metal Exchange, Specific I2 Sensing, and Polymerization of a Catalytic [3×3] Grid of [CuII5CuI4L6]⋅(I)2⋅13 H2O2013-03-2010.1002/chem.20120411584877301892
