Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) is a water soluble tripodal ligand that is majorly used in co-ordination chemistry. It has three aminoethylgroups that attach with the surface atoms to provide a scaffold assembly.Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine is a tetradentate chelating ligand and forms stable complexes with transition metals. It is also used as a carbon dioxide absorbent. Further, it acts as a reagent for cleavage of the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group in peptide synthesis. It reacts with aryl isocyanates and isothiocyanates to give tris-urea and -thiourea derivatives.
Product Application: Building block for cryptands; precursor to a proazaphosphatrane, a stong, nonionic base.TREN can be grafted with multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) for use in solid phase extraction of metal ions for wastewater treatment based applications. It can also be used as a chelating agent in the surface treatment of silica nanoparticles which can further be used for a wide range of industrial applications.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
