Note that if
R
=
H, these compounds are parent hydrides; derivatives formed by substitution are named
accordingly. However, if the substituent's first atom, bearing the free
valence, is of the same element as the atom of the carbene analogue, other parent compounds
may be required (see
carbenes ), e.g.
HN:
nitrene;
CH3N:
methylnitrene;
H2NN:diazanylidene (synonym
isodiazene, not
aminonitrene ).
