In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure . They consist of a nitro group bonded to the nitrogen of an amine.[1] The R groups can be any group, typically hydrogen (e.g., methylnitroamine) and organyl (e.g., diethylnitroamine). An example of inorganic nitroamine is chloronitroamine or chloro(nitro)amine .[2] The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, .
