Triarylamine

In chemistry, a triarylamine has the formula NAr3 where Ar is any of several aryl groups.

Triarylamines are of interest as components of molecular electronics as well as some dyes.

[1] Triarylamines can be produced by arylation of diarylamides with aryl iodides:[2] Buchwald-Hartwig coupling methods have also been applied.

[3] Many hundreds of triarylamines have been prepared.

In some cases, their radical cationic derivatives have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
