Ammine vs. Amine

Amminenoun

(inorganic chemistry) Any of a class of coordination compounds in which ammonia acts as a ligand.

Amminenoun

a complex inorganic compound that contains ammonia molecules

Aminenoun

(inorganic chemistry) A functional group formally derived from ammonia by replacing one, two or three hydrogen atoms with hydrocarbon or other radicals.

Aminenoun

(organic chemistry) Any organic compound containing an amine functional group.

Aminenoun

One of a class of basic substances derived from ammonia by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by an alkyl or aryl group. Compare amide, in which an acyl group is attached to the nitrogen. Hydroxylamine and hydrazine, which are not an organic compounds, are also basic and may also be considered amines.

Aminenoun

a compound derived from ammonia by replacing hydrogen atoms by univalent hydrocarbon radicals

Aminenoun

an organic compound derived from ammonia by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by organic groups.

Amine

In organic chemistry, amines (, UK also ) are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are formally derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group (these may respectively be called alkylamines and arylamines; amines in which both types of substituent are attached to one nitrogen atom may be called alkylarylamines).
