Ammonolyses

/ˌæməˈnɑləˌsiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of ammonolysis; multiple instances or types of chemical reactions where ammonia breaks down or splits apart compounds.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Different ammonolyses can produce wildly different products from the same starting material—it's like ammonia is a secret key that opens different doors depending on conditions like temperature and pressure. This selectivity makes it incredibly valuable in industry!
