A chemical compound where two phenyl groups are connected through an imine linkage containing nitrogen.
From di- (two) + phenyl (aromatic hydrocarbon group) + -en- (connective) + imine (organic compound with a C=N double bond). Created as organic chemistry expanded the family of nitrogen-containing compounds in the early 20th century.
Imines are nature's way of linking molecules together—they form when amino acids build proteins, making this artificial compound a mimic of a fundamental biological process.
