Azanide
Anion derived from deprotonation of ammonia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the negative anion. For other compounds with the formula NH2 but different charges, see amino radical and nitrenium ion.
Azanide is the IUPAC-sanctioned name for the anion NH−2. The term is obscure; derivatives of NH−2 are almost invariably referred to as amides,[1][2][3] despite the fact that amide also refers to the organic functional group –C(=O)−NR2. The anion NH−2 is the conjugate base of ammonia, so it is formed by the self-ionization of ammonia. It is produced by deprotonation of ammonia, usually with strong bases or an alkali metal. Azanide has a H–N–H bond angle of 104.5°.
