{{Short description|Class of chemical compounds}} {{Distinguish|Amide|Imine}} [[Image:Imide functional group.svg|thumb|A general linear imide functional group]] In [[organic chemistry]], an '''imide''' is a [[functional group]] consisting of two [[acyl]] groups bound to [[nitrogen]].<ref>{{Cite book | chapter-url=http://goldbook.iupac.org/I02948.html | doi=10.1351/goldbook.I02948| chapter=Imides| title=IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology| year=2009| isbn=978-0-9678550-9-7}}</ref> The compounds are structurally related to [[acid anhydride]]s, although imides are more resistant to hydrolysis. In terms of commercial applications, imides are best known as components of high-strength polymers, called [[Polyimide|polyimides]]. [[Inorganic imide]]s are also known as solid state or gaseous compounds, and the imido group (=NH) can also act as a [[ligand]].
