A one pot, multi-component CuAAC reaction has been developed for the generation of alkyl, benzyl or aryl substituted bi and tridentate pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole ligands from their corresponding halides, sodium azide and alkynes in excellent yields. The ligands have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, HR-ESMS, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and in the ferrocenyl substituted cases the structures were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Additionally, we have examined the coordination chemistry of these ligands and found that a variety of geometrically diverse Cu(II) and Ag(I) complexes, including interesting tri and tetrasilver complexes, can be formed.
