The
cation
(H2N:+) and its
N-hydrocarbyl derivatives
(R2N:+),
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
(H2N:+),
(R2C=N:+),
still belong to the class nitrenium ions, but are more precisely designated by the term
iminylium ions.
