The right to choose: 1,2,4-Diazaphospholide anions support the predictable construction of coordination polymer networks of different topology by switching between bidentate (κNN′) and tridentate (κNN′,κP) coordination depending on the choice of the metal (see picture); furthermore, the ligand exhibits a remarkable difference to 1,2,4-triazolides because the diffuse lone pair at phosphorus permits μ2(P)-bridging coordination.
