The synthesis of the novel chelator 'tamepyr' (N,N',N"-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,1,1-tris(aminomethyl)ethane) and properties of its complexes with Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and In(III) are reported. Tamepyr was prepared as a complex with Ni(II) by the NaBH4 reduction of the tamepyr-trisimine complex, [Ni((2-py-C(H)=NCH2)(3)CMe)](2+). The decomposition of [Ni(tamepyr)](2+) with excess sodium cyanide affords tamepyr in 40% overall yield from tame. Structural study of [Zn(tamepyr)](ClO4)(2) shows similar Zn-N distances with reference to the aminopyridyl tripod tachpyr (N,N',N"-tris(2-pyridylmethyl)-cis,cis-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexane), being d(Zn-N-amine.py) = 216.9(2), 212.8(2) pin versus 216.0(3), 216.5(4) pm for [Zn(tachpyr)](ClO4)(2). However, the [Zn(tamepyr)](2+) data indicate a greater propensity to octahedral coordination in a tame-framework chelator compared to a tach-framework chelator: the trigonal twist angle in the ZnN6 coordination sphere of [Zn(tamepyr)](2+) is 46.5(2)degrees versus 43.7(2)degrees for [Zn(tachpyr)](2+). When presented with larger metals such as In(111), tamepyr shows greater flexibility than tachpyr, thus, [In(tamepyr)](3+) is completely fluxional at ambient temperature while [In(tachpyr)](3+) is static up to 107 degrees C as shown by H-1 NMR in DMSO-d(6).
