  "term": "Diamidides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Compounds of the type RC(=NR)-NR-C(=NR)R, built like open-chain carboxylic acid anhydrides but with nitrogen in place of oxygen: each carbonyl oxygen becomes an NR group and the bridging oxygen becomes another NR group. They are N-imidoyl amidines, and the class is also called 1,3,5-triazapentadienes. The name follows that of the anhydrides.",
