| 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. |
