In [[organic chemistry|organic]] and [[inorganic chemistry]], '''nitroamines''' or '''nitramides''' are [[chemical compound]]s with the general [[chemical structure]] {{chem2|R^{1}R^{2}N\sNO2}}. They consist of a [[Nitro compound|nitro]] group ({{chem2|\sNO2}}) bonded to the [[nitrogen]] of an [[amine]].<ref name="Clayden1st">{{cite book |last1=Clayden |first1=J. |last2=Greeves |first2=N. |last3=Warren |first3=S. |last4=Wothers |first4=P. |title=Organic Chemistry |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford, Oxfordshire |year=2001 |isbn=0-19-850346-6 |url=https://archive.org/details/organicchemistry00clay_0 |url-access=registration}}</ref><ref name="March6th">{{March6th}}</ref> The R groups can be any group, typically [[hydrogen]] (e.g., methylnitroamine {{chem2|CH3\sNH\sNO2}}) and [[organyl]] (e.g., diethylnitroamine {{chem2|(CH3CH2\s)2N\sNO2}}). An example of inorganic nitroamine is [[Chloronitramide anion|chloronitroamine]], {{chem2|Cl\sNH\sNO2}}.<ref name=pubchem>{{cite web | url=https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/22497266 | title=N-chloronitramide }}</ref> The [[Parent structure|parent]] [[inorganic compound]], where both R [[substituent]]s are hydrogen, is [[nitramide]] or nitroamine, {{chem2|H2N\sNO2}}.
