Ethylenediamine-N,N’-diacetic acid (EDDA) is a chelating agent widely used in coordination chemistry and metal ion complexation. EDDA contains two acetic acid groups attached to an ethylenediamine backbone, allowing it to bind to metal ions effectively. This property makes it valuable in various applications, including metal separation, catalysis, and industrial processes. EDDA is also used in analytical chemistry for titrations and in biochemical research for stabilizing metal ions in enzymatic reactions, enhancing precision and reliability in experiments.
