Click Chemistry^[1] pode ser descrita como pares de grupos funcionais que reagem entre si (“click”) rapidamente e seletivamente em condições aquosas brandas. Click Chemistry tornou-se um procedimento conveniente, versátil e reprodutivo de acoplamento de duas moléculas A e B^[1-5] agora amplamente utilizado em ciências da vida^[6-8], descobrimento de drogas^[9] e ciências materiais^[10].
