DuPont appears to have opened talks toward a potential merger deal with Dow Chemical Co., in a move that could create the world’s second-largest chemical company, according to media reports. But those reports and one of Delaware’s U.S. senators differed on whether a final agreement is imminent.

Chris Coons, D-Delaware, said he saw the deal as “far from done.”
