Inorganic amines

Hydroxylamine (also known as hydroxyammonia) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula . The compound exists as hygroscopic colorless crystals. Hydroxylamine is almost always provided and used as either an aqueous solution or, more often, as one of its salts, such as hydroxylammonium sulfate, a water-soluble solid.

Monochloramine, often called chloramine, is the chemical compound with the formula NH2Cl. Together with dichloramine (NHCl2) and nitrogen trichloride (NCl3), it is one of the three chloramines of ammonia. It is a colorless liquid at its melting point of , but it is usually handled as a dilute aqueous solution, in which form it is sometimes used as a disinfectant. Chloramine is too unstable to have its boiling point measured.

Dichloramine (IUPAC name: Azonous dichloride) is a reactive inorganic compound with the chemical formula . It is one of the three chloramines of ammonia, the others being monochloramine () and nitrogen trichloride (). This yellow gas is unstable and reacts with many materials. It is formed by a reaction between ammonia and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. It is a byproduct formed during the synthesis of monochloramine and nitrogen trichloride.

chemical compound

Difluoroamine (also called fluorimide or difluoramine) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NHF2. It consists of an ammonia molecule on which two of the hydrogen atoms have been substituted by fluorine atoms, and is thus the fluorine analog of dichloramine.
