Misc References
[edit]I added some references to the biological activity section expanded it a tiny bit. I'm sort of a noob to wikipedia and two of my references look a little funny but I can't figrue out why. If someone could fix them, that would be great. They are the last two references in the biological activity page. Also, I agree a quaternary amine should be added to the top graphic. I'll try to remake the graphic when I have time if no one else can get around to it.RabidRabbit23 (talk) 09:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC) Scratch my comment, a quaternary amine is defined by the IUPAC gold book as a different functional group, called iminium. Does anyone think I should remove the mention to quaternary amines in the biological activity section?RabidRabbit23 (talk) 09:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- What you call a "quaternary amine" could be a quaternary ammonium cation or quaternary ammonium compound (or salt), for which there is a separate article. There is an image of the generalized structure available there. H Padleckas (talk) 10:51, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- I moved a couple of your sentences from Amine here to the Quaternary ammonium cation (compound) article along with the references you provided. I fixed the link to osmolytes. The other stuff you added I left here, but with a clarification. There is a separate article on iminium, which means compounds with a C=N+ moiety. I did not mention iminium in the biological activity section. H Padleckas (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thank your very much! You didn't quite capture my meaning about the ion pairs though, I rewrote that a little bit and added another reference. Yes you're right quaternary ammonium is the correct term, my bad.RabidRabbit23 (talk) 21:09, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

| Amine group redirects here. It is a term used in high school. As such, I gave it a "high" rating. The article could use some more biological context, e.g. amine groups in amino acids. - tameeria 03:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC) |

Use epoxy resin curing agents
[edit]Epoxy curatives is a key use. I added a section with some references. Will expand later GRALISTAIR (talk) 14:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Inorganic amines?
[edit]Is there a special name for compounds where the -NH2 is bonded to a non-carbon atom, such as a metal or metalloid? How much study has there been into such compounds? Looking around online, it seems like silicon amines exist, and are used in the manufacturing of silicon nitride among other things, but there should be more info about them on Wiki. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:6466 (talk) 19:35, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- We have this article: Metal amides which describes some compounds with R2N- ligands. In most cases, R = alkyl or aryl. Wikipedia lacks many editors with strong interests in main group chemistry. --Smokefoot (talk) 21:54, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
