Ethylene Diamine
Ethylene Diamine (Product Code: SCL-839/163) is a colourless, strongly basic liquid amine used as a bidentate ligand to prepare coordination complexes in college and university chemistry laboratories. Also written ethylenediamine and abbreviated “en”, it is offered as a 500ml analytical reagent with an MSDS for inorganic practicals that demonstrate ligand exchange and the chelate effect. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier in India for colleges, universities and research groups.

What Is Ethylene Diamine Used For?
Adding ethylenediamine drop by drop to a pale green nickel(II) solution changes the colour through blue to violet as the two-nitrogen ligand displaces water molecules around the metal ion, giving students a vivid picture of ligand substitution. Similar colour shifts can be seen with copper(II), and cobalt salts are used in preparative practicals where the solid complex is crystallised, filtered and characterised. Comparing these complexes with the ammonia versions is a neat way to introduce the chelate effect in lab equipment for college inorganic courses.
The liquid is corrosive to skin and eyes, has a strong ammonia-like smell and can irritate the airways, so measure it in a fume cupboard wearing gloves and goggles. It also absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from air, so keep the cap tight, pour only what is needed into a clean measuring cylinder, and never return unused liquid to the stock bottle.
Supplier
Ethylene Diamine is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. The company sources ligands, metal salts and other reagents for teaching and research laboratories in India and international markets, and quotes them together with the glassware a coordination chemistry practical needs. The ScienceLab company profile explains more about the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ethylene Diamine the same as ethylenediamine?
Yes. Ethylene Diamine is ethylenediamine, the common bidentate ligand abbreviated “en”. This product was earlier listed under the spelling “Ethelene Diamine”, which still appears in its web address, but the chemical and the product code SCL-839/163 are unchanged.
What quantity of Ethylene Diamine is in a pack?
Each pack of Ethylene Diamine (SCL-839/163) holds 500ml of analytical reagent grade liquid, supplied with an MSDS. Pour only the volume needed into a clean measuring cylinder, and never return unused liquid to the stock bottle.
What precautions does Ethylene Diamine need?
Treat Ethylene Diamine as corrosive and irritant: measure it in a fume cupboard wearing gloves and goggles, and keep it away from acids and oxidising agents. The MSDS supplied with the pack gives full first-aid, spill and storage details.
What is the shelf life of Ethylene Diamine?
The shelf life of Ethylene Diamine depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted here. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted; because the liquid absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide, keep the bottle tightly sealed.
Who supplies Ethylene Diamine (SCL-839/163)?
Ethylene Diamine (SCL-839/163) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company provides ligands, metal salts and laboratory glassware for inorganic chemistry practicals at colleges and universities in India and international markets.
Can Ethylene Diamine be sent to laboratories outside India?
Ethylene Diamine can be quoted for India and international markets. As a corrosive liquid it travels under dangerous-goods rules, so include the destination country and quantity in your enquiry through the contact page and we will confirm what shipping is possible.
