Compounds with Chains of Three or More Nitrogen Atoms

Compounds of type RN=NX having X linked directly to the diazo group have already been treated in Section 3.8. 

Compounds with Chains of Three or More Nitrogen Atoms 

The first compounds to be considered here are azides, which are mostly named radicofunctionally as. ..yl azides or substitutively as azido... derivatives. 

All other compounds containing such nitrogen chains are designated as polyazanes, -azenes, -azadienes, etc. with double bonds being preferred for numbering. 

Triazenes substituted at both ends with identical organyl groups were formerly denoted as diazoamino... compounds.
