Consequently, the first and foremost article reporting EDTA as zwitterionic form was determined after a difficult confirmation. Additionally, crystallographic data of the zwitterionic EDTA itself and non-chelated salts thereof registered on the CCDC are also summarized herein. This episodic knowledge will be fundamental for not only chemical education but also related fundamental and applied sciences., EdArXiv, doi: https://doi.org/10.35542/osf.io/n9jf4}, title = {Episodic knowledge on first and foremost crystalline structural report of ethylenediamineteraacetic acid (EDTA) itself}, year = {2024} }
