2,4,6-Tri-2-pyridyl-s-triazine (Cat No.:R070997) is a heterocyclic ligand with the molecular formula C18H12N6, featuring a 1,3,5-triazine core substituted with three 2-pyridyl groups. This pale yellow crystalline compound is widely used in analytical chemistry, particularly in colorimetric assays for detecting metal ions. It forms intensely colored complexes with iron(II), making it a key reagent in the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. TPTZ is also valuable in coordination chemistry and supramolecular design, where its multidentate nature allows for the construction of stable metal–ligand architectures with optical and catalytic properties.
