Description

Triethylenetetramine (TEA) is a glycol ester that has the chemical formula C6H14N4O2. It is soluble in water and has high adsorption capacity. TEA is used as an inhibitor molecule in reactions, where it prevents the formation of other molecules by reacting with the reactants. The inhibition reaction can be reversed by adding a suitable base or acid to the solution. TEA can be used in a model system to study redox potentials because it can be titrated and studied in detail using calorimetry or plasma mass spectrometry.
