Chelation is the binding or complexation of a bi- or multidentate ligand. Usually this term refers to complexes of metal ions and the chelating agent but can also refer to the complexation of water by polyamines. We will present first results of the chelation of water by diethylene triamine (DETA). DETA is tridentate ligand and exhibits a good miscibility with water. Our study comprises the investigation of the DETA concentration dependence of the mass density, of the refractive index and the longitudinal elastic modulus as well as time and space dependence of the chelation process at a water/DETA interface as measured by time resolving Brillouin microscopy. The results show that the longitudinal elastic modulus and the mass density possess a maximum over concentration whereas the refractive index does not. This strong deviation from the Lorenz-Lorentz behaviour indicates a significant influence of chelation and the accompanying change in structure on the electronic polarizability. Futhermore we are able to show a complex structure formation process at the water-DETA interface leading to an astonishingly asymmetric interphase.
