Describing a chemical process or reaction that involves ammonolysis, or relating to the breaking apart of compounds using ammonia.
From ammonolysis + -ic (a suffix forming adjectives from nouns). The term combines the noun describing the chemical process with an adjectival ending to describe things having this quality or nature.
An ammonolytic reaction creates a different product profile than a hydrolytic one—chemists can exploit this difference to make specific molecules they couldn't make any other way. It's like having a different tool in your toolkit for each reaction!
