Application

Ethylenediamine solution was used in the synthesis of ultra-small CdSe quantum dots. It may be used as solvent in the preparation of ZnS and ZnSe precursors (ZnS·0.5en and ZnSe·0.5en, en = ethylenediamine), via solvothermal process. It may be employed for the synthesis of inulin based polycation (Inu-EDA).
