ammine versus amine

Postby Sarah Blake-2I » Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:26 pm

Is there a difference between saying ammine with two "m's" versus amine with one "m" when naming ligands? Do both refer to NH3?

I believe you would use 'ammine' when referring to a ligand and 'amine' when referring to a functional group.
