Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane is a model compound that has been studied extensively in the context of redox potential and hydrogen bonding interactions. Crystallography has shown that 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane possesses a molecule with an asymmetric geometry. The protonation of this molecule is dependent on the pH value. When protonated, the nitrogen atoms are coordinated to four chloride atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement with one lone pair on each nitrogen atom. This molecule also undergoes nucleophilic attack from hydrogen chloride and polymerization reactions at high temperatures. 1,2-Bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane can also be used for x-ray crystal structures and nmr spectra studies.
