Chemical Properties
light beige solid
Uses
Bis(hexamethylene)triamine is the suitable reagent used in the synthesis of xylylated dimer of polyamine and as a solvent to co at amphiphilic polymer on CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) for enhanced water solubilization.
It may be used in the following studies:
- Synthesis of bis(hexamethylene) triacetamide (BHTA) by acetylation.
- As a precursors for the ZnO outgrowths on TiO2 nanofibers.
- As organic bifunctional guest molecules for {W36} polyoxotungstate host compounds to form 1D chains of directly connected {W36} cluster units.
General Description
A colorless crystalline or flaked solid. Corrosive. Irritating to skin and eyes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make plastics.
Air & Water Reactions
Very soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
BIS(HEXAMETHYLENE)TRIAMINE neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
