CuI-catalyzed Huisgen-type dipolar ‘click’ reactions between azidomethyl-β-cyclodextrin and ethynylferrocene, ethylnylcobaltocenium hexafluorophosphate, and bis(ethynyl)-biferrocene yield the corresponding metallocenyl-1,2,3-triazolyl-β-cyclodextrins. The monometallocenyl 1,2,3-triazolyl-β-cyclodextrins are soluble in water, unlike the biferrocene derivative.
