• Description: 1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane is a coordination compound that has four binding sites for chloride ions. It is used as an antibacterial agent in the treatment of urinary tract infections. 1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane inhibits bacterial growth by binding to extracellular calcium ions and preventing the uptake of this ion into the cell. This compound also binds to fatty acids and prevents their oxidation, which is necessary for bacterial growth. This antibiotic binds with carbonyl oxygens from fatty acid esters, forming a complex that inhibits bacterial growth. The molecular structure of 1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane can be studied using NMR spectroscopy on plates where it has been deposited in an inert solvent.
