Tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Cat No.: M012843), commonly known as Me₆TREN, is a tetradentate ligand featuring three dimethylaminoethyl arms attached to a central nitrogen atom. It is widely used in coordination chemistry and organometallic catalysis due to its strong chelating ability and electron-donating properties. Me₆TREN is especially prominent in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) as a ligand for copper catalysts, enabling controlled polymer growth. Its high solubility in organic solvents and tunable electronic environment make it valuable in designing catalysts and functional materials.
