Tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) is an organic compound with the formula C₂(N(CH₃)₂)₄. It is a colorless liquid. It is classified as an enamine.[1]

Reactions

TDAE reacts with oxygen in a chemiluminscent reaction to give tetramethylurea[2][3]

Oxidation of TDAE (chemiluminescence).

TDAE is an electron donor with E = 1.06 v vs Fc^+/0.[4] It forms a charge transfer salt with buckminsterfullerene:[5]

C₂(N(CH₃)₂)₄ + C₆₀ → [C₂(N(CH₃)₂)₄⁺][C₆₀⁻]

Oxidation affords a dication.

Structure

Crystallographic analysis show that TDAE is a highly distorted alkene, the dihedral angle for the two N2C termini is 28″. The C=C distance is alkene-like, 135 pm. The nearly isostructural tetraisopropylethylene also has a C=C distance of 135 pm, but its C6 core is planar. In contrast, [TDAE]²⁺ is an alkane with multi-C-N bonds.

Structure of TDAE and its dication (distances in picometers).[6]
