	abstract = {A family of benzotriazole based coordination compounds, obtained in two steps and good yields from commercially available materials, formulated as [CuII(L1)2(MeCN)2]{\textperiodcentered}2ClO4{\textperiodcentered}MeCN (1), [CuII(L1)(NO3)2]{\textperiodcentered}MeCN (2), [ZnII(L1)2(H2O)2]{\textperiodcentered}2ClO4{\textperiodcentered}2MeCN (3), [CuII(L1)2Cl2]2 (4), [CuII5(L1)2Cl10] (5), [CuII2(L1)4Br2]{\textperiodcentered}4MeCN{\textperiodcentered}CuII2Br6 (6), [CuII(L1)2(MeCN)2]{\textperiodcentered}2BF4 (7), [CuII(L1)2(CF3SO3)2] (8), [ZnII(L1)2(MeCN)2]{\textperiodcentered}2CF3SO3 (9), [CuII2(L2)4(H2O)2]{\textperiodcentered}4CF3SO3{\textperiodcentered}4Me2CO (10), and [CuII2(L3)4(CF3SO3)2]{\textperiodcentered}2CF3SO3{\textperiodcentered}Me2CO (11), are reported. These air-stable compounds were tested as homogeneous catalysts for the A3 coupling synthesis of propargylamine derivatives from aldehyde, amine, and alkyne under a noninert atmosphere. Fine tuning of the catalyst resulted in a one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer (CP) (8) with excellent catalytic activity in a wide range of substrates, avoiding any issues that would inhibit its performance.},
