Different isomers exist 1,2,4-triazolate or 1,2,3-triazolate, both are unsaturated heterocyclic ring compounds containing three nitrogen atoms.
[1] Known compounds include zinc,[2] and natural copper minerals, chanabayaite and triazolite.
[3] Trizolate is a tridentate ligand, and can form complexes with metals via the three nitrogen atoms.
This enables polymers or metal organic framework compounds to be formed.
Triazolate can also be substituted on its carbon atoms.
