The new polynucleating tripodal proligand H 6 tren(dpa) 3 , containing thirteen nitrogen donors of four different types, was designed, synthesized, and isolated in good yield (∼60%) via a transition-metal-free triple N-arylation tren with HXdpa (X = Br or F), using K 2 CO Cs as base (H tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, 6-halogeno-N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine). HFdpa prepared excellent (90–92%) by rea...
