Preferred Label : nitrenium ions;
IUPAC definition : The cation(H sub 2 /sub N: sup class plus /sup ) and its i N /i -hydrocarbyl derivatives
(R sub 2 /sub N: sup class plus /sup ), in which the nitrogen has a positive charge,
and two unshared electrons. A synonymous but less widely used term is aminylium ions.
The alkylidene derivatives of (H sub 2 /sub N: sup class plus /sup ), (R sub 2 /sub
C N: sup class plus /sup ), still belong to the class nitrenium ions, but are more
precisely designated by the term iminylium ions.;
