Lemma 13.12.2. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category. Let

\[ \xymatrix{ 0 \ar[r] & A^\bullet \ar[r] \ar[d] & B^\bullet \ar[r] \ar[d] & C^\bullet \ar[r] \ar[d] & 0 \\ 0 \ar[r] & D^\bullet \ar[r] & E^\bullet \ar[r] & F^\bullet \ar[r] & 0 } \]

be a commutative diagram of morphisms of complexes such that the rows are short exact sequences of complexes, and the vertical arrows are quasi-isomorphisms. The $\delta $-functor of Lemma 13.12.1 above maps the short exact sequences $0 \to A^\bullet \to B^\bullet \to C^\bullet \to 0$ and $0 \to D^\bullet \to E^\bullet \to F^\bullet \to 0$ to isomorphic distinguished triangles.

Proof. Trivial from the fact that $K(\mathcal{A}) \to D(\mathcal{A})$ transforms quasi-isomorphisms into isomorphisms and that the associated distinguished triangles are functorial. $\square$
