Talk:Diimide

Things to do

(1) Can someone help me add this reference for azaniumylazanium:

http://www.easychem.org/en/subst-ref/?id=3969

(2) Who can explain what corresponds to what, E with cis and Z with trans?

I found out: Z is cis and E is trans

E-Z notation

I fixed item #2, both in the intro text and with captions for the infobox images. DMacks (talk) 22:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks,

(I'm very nearsighted :) )

The chemical in item #1 is off-topic here, as it is the doubly protonated form of hydrazine. I added it to hydrazine#Hydrazinium salts, where the monoprotonated form was already discussed. DMacks (talk) 22:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Diazene → Diimide – Diimide also seems to be the more/most common name. Also to match with the page "Reductions with diimide", . OrganoMetallurgy (talk) 15:12, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

I support this rename and move. Per your case for internal consistency and my experience that diimide is what chemists call it. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:47, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Other changes following the move

I've made the trivial change to the lead which is just a matter of English, but I'm not strong enough in chemistry to know whether others are appropriate. I note that the infobox heading is already Diimide but that the IUPAC name is diazine, so maybe it's appropriate for the image captions to stay as they are, especially if in structural chemistry the IUPAC name tends to dominate rather than the more generally common name, which would not be unusual.

Why is the hybridization of N atoms sp² and not sp?

If it were sp, then the molecule would be linear with two 2c-3e N-N bonds like triplet oxygen, which is not the case. Using sp² hybridization, N₂H₂ has true double bonds like C₂H₄. I was wondering: why is sp hybridization not used? 14.52.231.91 (talk) 00:49, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
