The molecular structure of a non-symmetric structure based on a tetrasubstituted ethylenediamine backbone consists of three hydroxybenzyl groups and one 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde group bonded to the N atoms of the diamine unit. The ethylenediamine skeleton shows a regular extended conformation, while the phenol arms are randomly oriented but governed by hydrogen bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
