hydronitrogen

plural hydronitrogens

1. chemistryAny binary compound of nitrogen and hydrogen

   Upon compression to 60 GPa, reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen was found, where four kinds of hydronitrogen compounds were stabilized: H 2 N−NH 2 (hydrazine), H 2 N−NH−NH−NH 2 (N4-II), H 2 N−N=N−NH 2 (labeled N4-I), and H 2 N−NH−N(NH 2 )−NH−NH 2 (N6), in ratios of 7:3:1:1.
