General description

Ethylenediamine (en) is a linear aliphatic diamine. The synthesis of ethylenediamine has been reported.[1] Its effect as an allergen has been investigated.[2] It participates in the synthesis of metal chalcogenides[3] and thiogallates.[4]

Application

Ethylenediamine (en) is suitable for use in the synthesis of covalently linked adducts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oligonucleotides with single-walled carbon nanotubes.[5] It may be used in the following studies:
  • Functionalization of the triazolate-bridged metal-organic framework.[6]
  • As a solvent in the synthesis of ZnS and ZnSe precursors by solvothermal process.[7]
  • As a softening agent for hard wood plant structure.[8]
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of Pd/C-ethylenediamine complex catalyst.[9]
  • As a chelating agent in the synthesis of β-Co(OH)2 nanocrystals.[10]
  • To produce ethylenediamine modified rice hull, used as a sorbent for basic and reactive dyes.[11]
  • Synthesis of ethylenediamine-templated iron arsenates and fluoroarsenates.[12]
  • As a template agent and coordination agent in the synthesis of CdS nanocrystals.[13]
  • As a reagent in the synthesis of imidazolines.[14]
