In organic chemistry, tetraaminoethylene is a hypothetical, organic compound with formula Template:Chem2 or Template:Chem2. Like all polyamines that are geminal, this compound has never been synthesised and is believed to be extremely unstable.[2]
However, there are many stable compounds that can be viewed as derivatives of tetraaminoethylene, with various organic functional groups substituted for some or all hydrogen atoms. These compounds, which have the general formula Template:Chem2, are collectively called tetraaminoethylenes.

Tetraaminoethylenes are important in organic chemistry as dimers of diaminocarbenes, a type of stable carbene with the general formula Template:Chem2.
Reactions
- Tetraaminoethylenes react with acids to give formamidinium salts.
