Talk:Hexamethylenediimine

What chemical is it?
"Hexamethylenediimine" has (as the intro sentence says and the images illustrate) a six-carbon chain. But the molecular formula and weight, SMILES, pubchem, and IUPAC name are all for the five-carbon analog. I don't see mention of "hexamethylene" in either the ''Chem. Rev. or J. Chem. Ed.'' ref. The only mention of diimines I see are for RN=C[R']C=NR types of structures (imines to the chain C not beyond the N). who wrote the original, could you please double-check what actual chemical you mean, and where specifically in the refs it is mentioned?

 * The proper chemical is the six-carbon chain, as in Hexamethylenediamine or Hexamethylene diisocyanate. I did not do the molecular formula, weight, SMILES, pubchem, or IUPAC, as I am not familiar enough with the wikipedia API to use Chembox successfully. I would appreciate the editing of any inaccurate information. Thanks. --Lex9000 1:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Per article-history, the formula C7H16N2 was indeed your edit (and likewise the "pentyl" name. The other details were added automatically or by others presumably based on looking that up. No problem, I just updated them all. J. P. Delano, thanks for removing some of the disputed content. I just removed the rest. DMacks (talk) 17:17, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
