The first investigation of the microwave spectrum of ethylenediamine (NH CH –CH NH ) showed that in the gas phase this molecule occurs in two conformers which both exhibit a large amplitude tunneling motion corresponding to an interchange of the roles of the amino groups. In conformer I, the tunneling splitting is about 172 MHz while it is only 2.7 MHz in conformer II. In the paper an analysis ...

The title compound, [Na2(C6H18NSi2)2(C6H16N2)] n , was found to consist of dimeric [Na(NSiMe3)2] units with crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry based upon four-membered NaNNaN rings. The dimers are bridged by N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethylenediamine ligands, which act in an unusual extended non-chelating coordination mode. This gives a one-dimensional coordination polymer that extends par...

Uniform microspheres (30 microm) of [Pt(en)(iso)(iso.HPF(6))] (en = ethylenediamine; iso = isonicotinate) has been formed without intentional addition of any template, that is, a genuine self-assembly, and their structure, physicochemical properties, and hydrogenation-catalytic activity have been characterized.

A new family of nickel(II) complexes of the type [Ni(L)(CH(3)CN)](BPh(4))(2), where L=N-methyl-N,N',N'-tris(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (L1, 1), N-benzyl-N,N',N'-tris(pyrid-2-yl-methyl)-ethylenediamine (L2, 2), N-methyl-N,N'-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-N'-(6-methyl-pyrid-2-yl-methyl)-ethylenediamine (L3, 3), N-methyl-N,N'-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-N'-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (L4, 4), a...

We describe a novel solid phase sorbent that was synthesized by coupling graphene oxide (GO) to ethylenediamine (EDA). This nanomaterial (referred to as GO-EDA) is capable of adsorbing the ions of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and lead. The ethylenediamine-modified graphene oxide was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infra...
