Preferred Label : aminoxyl radicals;
IUPAC definition : Compounds having the structure R sub 2 /sub N–O· R sub 2 /sub N· sup
class plus /sup –O sup class minus /sup ; they are radicals derived from hydroxylamines
by removal of the hydrogen atom from the hydroxy group, and are in many cases isolable.
The synonymous terms 'nitroxyl radicals' and 'nitroxides' erroneously suggest the
presence of a nitro group; their use is not desirable. E.g. div class chemoverlay
