Tripodal Ligand
Tripodal ligands are tridentate, tri- and tetradentate ligands. They are popular in research in the areas of coordination chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. Because the ligands are polydentate, they do not readily dissociate from the metal centre. Many tripodal ligands have C3 symmetry group, symmetry. Coordination chemistry In their coordination complexes with an octahedral molecular geometry the tridentate tripod ligands occupy one face, leading to a fixed Coordination complexes#Cis–trans isomerism and facial–meridional isomerism, facial (or ''fac'') geometry. The tetradentate tripodal ligands occupy four contiguous sites, leaving two ''cis'' positions available on the octahedral metal center. When bound to four- and five-coordinate metal centres, these ligands impose C3 symmetry, which can lead to uncommon ligand field splitting patterns. Tripodal ligands are often able to coordinately saturate metal ions with lower coordination numbers. One tripodal ligand of commercial ...

Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine
Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine is the organic compound with the chemical formula, formula N(CH2CH2NH2)3. This colourless liquid is soluble in water and is highly basic, consisting of a tertiary amine center and three pendant primary amine groups. Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine is commonly abbreviated as tren or TREN. It is used a crosslinking agent in the synthesis of polyimine networks and a tripodal ligand in coordination chemistry. Supramolecular and polymer derivatives Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine has been used to prepare molecular capsules and related supramolecular structures. Metal complexes Tren is a C3-symmetric, tetradentate chelating ligand that forms stable complexes with transition metals, especially those in the 2+ and 3+ oxidation states. Tren complexes exist with relatively few isomers, reflecting the constrained connectivity of this tetramine. Thus, only a single achiral stereoisomer exists for [Co(tren)X2]+, where X is halide or pseudohalide. In contrast, for [Co(trien)X2]+ five di ...

1,1,1-Tris(aminomethyl)ethane
1,1,1-Tris(aminomethyl)ethane (TAME) is an organic compound with the formula CHC(CHNH). It is a colorless liquid. It is classified as a polyamine tripodal ligand, i.e., capable of binding to metal ions through three sites and hence is a tridentate chelating ligand, occupying a face of the coordination polyhedron. Preparation TAME is synthesized by the Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation of 1,1,1-tris(azidomethyl)ethane. Although azides are potentially explosive, they are excellent and practical source of primary amines. The required tris(azidomethyl)ethane is obtained from the tri tosylate by salt metathesis using sodium azide. These two steps are: :3 NaN + CHC(CHOTs) → CHC(CHN) + 3 NaOTs :3 H + CHC(CHN) → CHC(CHNH) + 3 N Complexes of TAME The tripodal TAME ligand In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

Trispyrazolylborate
The trispyrazolylborate ligand, abbreviated Tp−, is an anionic Denticity, tridentate and tripodal ligand. Trispyrazolylborate refers specifically to the anion [HB(C3N2H3)3]−. However, the term can also be used to refer to derivatives having substituents on the pyrazolyl rings. This class of compounds belongs to the family of ligands called scorpionate ligands. Tp ligands As suggested by the resonance structures, the nitrogen centers that are not bonded to boron are basic. These centers bind to three adjacent sites of a metal such that the simple adducts have C3v symmetry group, symmetry. The facial bonding mode is reminiscent of cyclopentadienyl ligands, although the ligand field stabilization energy of Tp− is weaker as indicated by the fact that Fe(Tp)2 is a spin crossover, spin-crossover complex whereas ferrocene is low-spin. The Tp ligands are usually prepared from the reaction of pyrazole with potassium borohydride: :KBH4 + 3 C3H3N2H → K[HB(C3N2H3)3] + 3H2 ...

Bioinorganic Chemistry
Bioinorganic chemistry is a field that examines the role of metals in biology. Bioinorganic chemistry includes the study of both natural phenomena such as the behavior of metalloproteins as well as artificially introduced metals, including those that are non-essential, in medicine and toxicology. Many biological processes such as respiration depend upon molecules that fall within the realm of inorganic chemistry. The discipline also includes the study of inorganic models or mimics that imitate the behaviour of metalloproteins. As a mix of biochemistry and inorganic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry is important in elucidating the implications of electron-transfer proteins, substrate bindings and activation, atom and group transfer chemistry as well as metal properties in biological chemistry. The successful development of truly interdisciplinary work is necessary to advance bioinorganic chemistry. Composition of living organisms About 99% of mammals' mass are the elements carb ...

N-heterocyclic Carbene
A persistent carbene (also known as stable carbene) is an organic molecule whose natural resonance structure has a carbon atom with octet rule, incomplete octet (a carbene), but does not exhibit the tremendous instability typically associated with such moieties. The best-known examples and by far largest subgroup are the ''N''-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) (sometimes called Arduengo carbenes), in which nitrogen atoms flank the formal carbene. Modern theoretical analysis suggests that the term "persistent carbene" is in fact a misnomer. Persistent carbenes do not in fact have a carbene electronic structure in their ground state, but instead an ylide stabilized by Aromaticity, aromatic resonance or steric shielding. Excitation to a carbene structure then accounts for the carbene-like dimerization that some persistent carbenes undergo over the course of days. Persistent carbenes in general, and Arduengo carbenes in particular, are popular ligands in organometallic chemistry. Histor ...

1,1,1-Tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane
1,1,1-Tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane, also called Triphos, is an organophosphorus compound with the formula CH3C H2PPh2sub>3. An air-sensitive white solid, it is a tripodal ligand ("three-legged") of idealized C3v symmetry. It was originally prepared by the reaction of sodium diphenylphosphide and CH3C(CH2Cl)3: :3 Ph2PNa + CH3C(CH2Cl)3 → CH3C H2PPh2sub>3 + 3 NaCl It forms complexes with many transition metals, usually as a tripodal ligand. Such complexes are used to analyze mechanistic aspects of homogeneous catalysts. For example, rhodium forms complexes with CH3C H2PPh2sub>3 like triphos)RhCl(C2H4) triphos)RhH(C2H4) and triphos)Rh(C2H5)(C2H4) provide model intermediates in the catalytic cycle for hydrogenation of alkenes. Triphos sometimes behaves as a bidentate ligand. Illustrative cases include ''fac''- n(CO)3Br(η2-triphos)and (CO)4(η2-triphos) where M is Cr, Mo, or W.
