An organic compound containing two amine functional groups (NH₂ groups), used in chemical synthesis and industrial applications.
From 'dia-' (two) + 'amin' (from 'ammonia'). A streamlined chemical term for molecules with two amino groups, with alternative spellings including 'diamine'.
Diamins and diamines are the building blocks of something unexpected—nylon! Two diamine molecules react together to form polymers that become the fabric in clothes, seatbelts, and fishing line. Everyday polymers started as chemistry naming conventions.
