Preferred Label : nitrenes;
IUPAC definition : until the 1960s, nitrenes had a totally different meaning: analogues of nitrones in
which the double-bonded oxygen is replaced by double-bonded carbon, thus azomethine
ylides.; the neutral compound hn2having univalent nitrogen, and its derivatives rn. aminylenes
is a recognized but less widely used synonym. other names that have been used include
aminediyls, imidogens, azenes. they may exist in either a singlet or a triplet electronic
state (four spin-paired electrons, or two spin-paired and two with parallel spins,
respectively), e.g. ch3n2methylnitrene.;
