Terpyridine derivatives are widely used as multidentate ligands in coordination chemistry, molecular materials, supramolecular systems, and metal-complex research. Their tridentate N-donor structure makes them particularly useful for constructing well-defined metal–ligand architectures.
4,4',4,"-Tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine CAS:115091-29-7 is an alkyl-substituted terpyridine ligand combining the coordination characteristics of the terpyridine core with bulky tert-butyl groups. UCHEM currently has this product in stock, providing a convenient sourcing option for research and synthesis projects.
UCHEM can also provide a selection of related terpyridine derivatives:
2,2':6',2"-Terpyridine - CAS:1148-79-4
2,2':6',2"-terpyridine-4,4',4"-tricarboxylic acid - CAS:216018-58-5
The three products offer complementary structural features, from the parent terpyridine ligand to hydrophobic tert-butyl substitution and multiple carboxylic acid functional groups. This makes the series useful when researchers need to adjust ligand sterics, polarity, or additional functionalization while retaining the terpyridine coordination framework.
With 4,4',4,"-Tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine available from stock, UCHEM provides an efficient supply option for customers sourcing specialized terpyridine building blocks.
