Dichloramine (IUPAC name: Azonous dichloride) is a reactive inorganic compound with the chemical formula Template:Chem2. It is one of the three chloramines of ammonia, the others being monochloramine (Template:Chem2) and nitrogen trichloride (Template:Chem2). This yellow gas is unstable and reacts with many materials.[1] It is formed by a reaction between ammonia and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite. It is a byproduct formed during the synthesis of monochloramine and nitrogen trichloride.

Synthesis

Dichloramine can be prepared by a reaction between monochloramine and chlorine or sodium hypochlorite:[1]
