N,N'-Dimethylethylenediamine is used in DNA binding effect. It is used to enhance the adsorption of carbon dioxide. It acts as a ligand and form coordination complex such as dinitrato(N,N'-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine)copper(II) and dichloro(1,4-bis-(diphenyl phosphino)butane)-(1,2-ethylenediamine)ruthenium(II).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
