Azane
Azane is a group of chemical compounds . They are saturated , acyclic nitrogen - hydrogen compounds with the general empirical formula N n H n + 2 . The simplest azan is therefore ammonia , which the IUPAC systematically refers to as azan . The next higher homologue is diazane (common name ( hydrazine )), followed by triazane . The series can be seen as N -Heteroanaloga of n - alkanes .
In Annex I to the German Narcotics Act , some active ingredients are also referred to with azan as part of their name . However, these are compounds with an amino group , such as allylescaline . The use of the name there is inconsistent with the systematic chemical nomenclature according to which these functional groups are designated with the suffix -amin .
Hydrogen nitrogen containing double bonds are known as azenes. Azanes and acenes can form positively charged ions ( cations ) through protonation and negatively charged anions through deprotonation . The cations are then referred to as azanium or azenium ions. The anions are called azanide or azenide ions. In sodium hydrazide , the salt of sodium with hydrazine , a azanide anion is included.
