  "term": "Isodiazenes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Compounds of the type R2N+=N-, in which both substituents sit on one nitrogen and the other nitrogen carries none, making them isomers of diazenes, RN=NR. They are also called diazanylidenes or hydrazinylidenes, while names such as 1,1-diazene and aminonitrene are discouraged. They are reactive intermediates, typically generated by oxidizing 1,1-disubstituted hydrazines, that either lose nitrogen gas or dimerize to tetrazenes.",
