Triethylenetetramine abbreviated TETA and trien is an organic compound with the formula [CH2NHCH2CH2NH2]2. This oily liquid is colourless but like many amines assumes a yellowish color due to impurities resulting from air-oxidation. It is soluble in polar solvents and exhibits the reactivity typical for amines. The branched isomer N(CH2CH2NH2)3 and piperazine derivatives also comprise commercial samples of TETA.
