1,1,1-Tris(aminomethyl)ethane (TAME) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C(CH2NH2)3. 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.
