goodness. i always trust lik but i'm still dithering on this chemical compound. the very words send shivers of horror down my spine remembering incomprehensible science lessons.

i'm happy with diamine now after some further research. thank you.

Lol, my science lessons are also a distant memory!

Chambers has 'Diamine' & a definition that precisely matches the clue - & does not have 'Diamide'
