Application

N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic acid (HEDTA) can be used as an ionophore for the selective determination of Fe(III) ions by the potentiometric method. It is also used to form complexes with metal ions such as iron(II), copper (II), zinc(II), manganese(II), and uranium(VI) ions. Therefore, HEDTA plays an important role in the separation of f-elements and the treatment and disposal of nuclear waste.

The [Ru(II)(Hedta)NO(+)] complex is a diamagnetic species crystallizing in a distorted octahedral geometry, with the Ru-N(O) length 1.756(4) A and the RuNO angle 172.3(4) degrees . The complex contains one protonated carboxylate (pK(a)=2.7+/-0.1). The [Ru(II)(Hedta)NO(+)] complex undergoes a nitrosyl-centered one-electron

Aluminum, a known neurotoxic substance, has been suggested as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Therapeutic efficacy of combined administration of citric acid (CA) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediaminetriacetic acid (HEDTA) was evaluated in decreasing blood and brain aluminum
