(S, S)-Ethylenediamine-N, N’-succinic acid (Cat No.:M002238) is a chiral derivative of ethylenediamine and a biodegradable alternative to widely used chelating agents such as EDTA. Structured with two succinic acid groups linked to each nitrogen of the ethylenediamine backbone, EDDS efficiently binds metal ions, forming stable chelates. This property is critical in applications such as bioremediation, where it helps in the removal of heavy metals from contaminated environments, and in agriculture to enhance micronutrient delivery to plants. Additionally, its biodegradability and low toxicity make it environmentally favorable, supporting its use in sustainable practices.
