Definition:
Compounds formally derived from the attachment of an amine R3N to a nitrene RN:. The structure R3N+–N−R expresses the 1,2-dipolar character of amine imides. They may be named systematically as substituted diazan-2-ium-1-ides, e.g. Me3N+–N−Me, 1,2,2,2-tetramethyldiazan-2-ium-1-ide or trimethylamine N-methylimide.
