Nitrogen chain nomenclature I know that nitrogen is versatile enough that it can form branched chains if it is all single bonds.

For example:

$\ce{H2N-N(NH2)-NH2}$

Is this compound a nitrane (nitrogen alkane)?

If so how would I name this branched nitrogen compound?
According to the IUPAC Gold book, these are known as azanes, from the information:


  Saturated acyclic nitrogen hydrides having the general formula $\ce{N_{n}H_{n + 2}}$


For the example you are looking at, according to the IUPAC document P-67 Mononuclear and polynuclear noncarbon acids and their functional replacement
analogues as parents for naming organic compounds (p. 15) is named as 2-aminotriazane.
