Abstract
The potential of thiotriazoles and thiotetrazoles in coordination chemistry towards gold and silver derivatives still remains largely unfulfilled. These substrates can function as ideal S,N donor ligands and form covalent or coordinative bonds with gold and silver. Relying on this, a comprehensive overview in this field is given in the article and basic principles are discussed.
