  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005610",
  "term": "Imino carbenes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A carbene that carries an imino group, RN=, elsewhere in the molecule, as in R-C(:)-CH2-C(=NR)R, where the divalent carbon and the C=N unit are separate. The name is listed to warn against using it for alkylideneaminocarbenes, in which the nitrogen of the C=N unit is bonded directly to the carbene carbon.",
