title: Tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine: a simple new tripodal polyamine ligand for Group 1 metals.
abstract: The first examples of Group 1 metal complexes of tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine (Me(6)TREN) are reported including monomeric sodium complexes containing eta(4)-bound ligands, suggesting their potential use in alkali-metal-mediated synthetic applications.
