R-5.3.3 Azo, azoxy, diazo, and related compounds

R-5.3.3.0 Diazenes. T e parent structure is named !diazene!, and t e "roups deri#ed from it, i.e., and , are named systematically as diazenyl and diazenediyl, respecti#ely $see R-3.%.&'. R-5.3.3.% Azo compounds. Compounds (it t e "eneral structure , ( ere R and may )e ali*e or different, are *no(n "enerically as !azo compounds!. +o(e#er, t ese compounds may )e more systematically named su)stituti#ely as deri#ati#es of t e parent ydride diazene.
