Definition

1. Noun:
   • A class of organic compounds: An imide is any of a class of organic compounds characterized by containing the divalent radical -CONHCO-.

Usage

• The term "imide" is used specifically in the field of chemistry to refer to this well-defined class of compounds. It is a technical term.

Examples

• Noun:
  • Succinimide is a common cyclic imide.
  • The synthesis of the polymer involved the formation of an imide linkage.
  • Phthalimide is an important derivative used in organic synthesis.

Advanced Usage

• "Imide group": Refers to the specific functional group (-CONHCO-) that defines these compounds.
  • The stability of the material is due to the presence of the imide group in its backbone.

Variants and Related Words

• Imidic (adj): Relating to or characteristic of an imide.
  • The imidic form of the compound is less stable.
• Imido (prefix): Used in chemical nomenclature to indicate the presence of the imide group, often as a substituent.
  • The complex contained an imido ligand.

Synonyms

• There are no direct common-language synonyms. In technical contexts, the name of a specific imide (e.g., phthalimide) is used, or it may be described as a "cyclic amide" or a compound containing the "imide functional group."

Related Phrases

• Imide bond: The chemical bond characteristic of the imide group.
  • The polymer's strength comes from its imide bonds.
• Polyimide: A polymer containing imide groups, known for high thermal stability.
  • Kapton tape is made from a polyimide film.
