Nitrogen(I) compounds

Nitroxyl (common name) or azanone (IUPAC name) is the chemical compound HNO. It is well known in the gas phase. Nitroxyl can be formed as a short-lived intermediate in solution. Its conjugate base, NO−, the nitroxide anion, is the reduced form of nitric oxide (NO) and is isoelectronic with dioxygen. The bond dissociation energy of H−NO is , which is unusually weak for a bond to the hydrogen atom.

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.
