Application

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

General description

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