A salt or ester formed from a diazo compound, where the diazo group has been stabilized by bonding to another atom or group.
From 'diazo-' plus '-ate' suffix (indicating a salt or compound derivative). Nomenclature standardized in 20th-century chemical literature.
Diazoates show how organic chemists can stabilize normally unstable diazo compounds by turning them into salts—it's like creating a chemical 'safety lock' for reactive molecules.
