Ammine vs. Amine: What's the Difference?

Any of a class of inorganic coordination compounds of ammonia and a metallic salt.

Any of a group of organic compounds of nitrogen, such as ethylamine, C2H5NH2, that may be considered ammonia derivatives in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a hydrocarbon group.

(inorganic chemistry) Any of a class of coordination compounds in which ammonia acts as a ligand.

(inorganic chemistry) A functional group formally derived from ammonia by replacing one, two or three hydrogen atoms with hydrocarbon or other radicals.

A complex inorganic compound that contains ammonia molecules

(organic chemistry) Any organic compound containing an amine functional group.

One of a class of basic substances derived from ammonia by replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by an alkyl or aryl group. Compare amide, in which an acyl group is attached to the nitrogen. Hydroxylamine and hydrazine, which are not an organic compounds, are also basic and may also be considered amines.

A compound derived from ammonia by replacing hydrogen atoms by univalent hydrocarbon radicals
