What does AMMINO mean in Scrabble?
adjective
chemistry
Containing ammonia molecules attached to a metal atom, as in an ammine complex.
The label ammino is applied to a complex ion or salt whose metal centre holds ammonia as a ligand, for example in a name such as hexaammino cobalt. It is easy to confuse with amino, which names a group in organic molecules, so the double m is the clue to which family is meant. The term lives almost only in inorganic naming.
