TPEN is a highly selective chelator of transition metal cations because the pyridine groups act as soft electron donators. TPEN is thus utilized for masking transition metal cations in fluorescent calcium monitoring. The masking function of the zinc cation is important for canceling the Fluorescent effect. TPEN is water-soluble and cell membrane permeable. Maximum wavelength is 260 nm. The physical properties of TPEN are as follows: pKa1=10.27, pKa2=3.32, pKa3=4.85, and pKa4=7.19; LogKMn=10.27, logKFe=14.61, logKZn=15.58, logKMg=1.7, and logKCa=4.4.
