Force-induced retro-click reaction of triazoles competes with adjacent single-bond rupture

T Stauch, A Dreuw - Chemical Science, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
The highly controversial force-induced cycloreversion of 1, 2, 3-triazole, its well-known retro-
click reaction, is shown to be possible only for 1, 5-substituted triazoles, but competes with …

Mechanochemically triggered topology changes in expanded porphyrins
