decorated with three N-methylimidazoles at the small rim and three 1, 4-disubstituted-1, 2, 3-
triazoles at the large rim. The coordination of a first Zn (II) cation selectively takes place at
the small rim. Addition of a second equivalent results in the complexation of the three
triazoles, providing a rare example of 1, 2, 3-triazole ligands embedded within a
supramolecular system.
