Abstract
This article covers all the research work published until September 1998 about the
coordination chemistry of 1,2,4-triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives. The revision is mainly
focused in the structural features of the compounds, obtained from single crystal X-ray
diffraction. The references are classified according to the present metal atoms. These kind of
ligands display a broad versatility when binding metal ions, monodentate binding through
