Aziminobenzene

/ˌæz.ɪˈmiː.noʊˈbɛn.ziːn/ noun

Definition

A chemical compound that combines a benzene ring (six-carbon ring found in many organic compounds) with both an azo and an imino group.

Etymology

From 'azimino-' (azo + imino) + 'benzene' (from gum benzoin). The term reflects the systematic naming practice in organic chemistry where compound names describe their molecular structure piece by piece.

Kelly Says

Aziminobenzene is essentially a chemical LEGO brick—benzene is the main piece, and the azimino groups are attachments, which is exactly how chemists think about building complex molecules.
