cis,cis-1,3,5-Triaminocyclohexane is an organic compound with the formula (CH2CHNH2)3. It is a triamine. Of the many isomers possible for triaminocyclohexane, the cis,cis-1,3,5-derivative has attracted attention because it is a common tripodal ligand, abbreviated as tach. It is a colorless oil. It is a popular tridentate ligand in coordination chemistry.

It is prepared from the triscarbamate of cyclohexane. The latter is generated via the Curtius rearrangement starting from cyclohexanetricarboxylic acid.[1]

Structure of [Ni(TACH)(H2O)3]2+ (color code: blue = nitrogen, red = oxygen; dark blue = nickel).[2]
