Diimine

This article is about the class of compounds having two imine groups. For compound having the molecular formula N2H2 and often called "diimine", see diazene.

Diimines are organic compounds containing two imine (RCH=NR') groups. Common derivatives are 1,2-diimines and 1,3-diimines. These compounds are used as ligands, but they are also precursors to other organic compounds.[1]
