A parent compound or radical containing two amine groups from which other diamine compounds can be derived or synthesized.
From 'diamine' + '-gen' (from Greek 'gennaios', producing/generating). Similar to 'diamidogen', it names the foundational structure that generates other compounds.
In chemistry, '-gen' compounds are like family ancestors—diaminogen is the root structure, and all the specific diamines are its descendants, each adapted for different purposes but sharing the same genetic code of two amino groups.
