A nitrenium ion (also called: aminylium ion or imidonium ion (obsolete)) in organic chemistry is a reactive intermediate based on nitrogen with both an electron lone pair and a positive charge and with two substituents (R2N+). Nitrenium ions are isoelectronic with carbenes, and can exist in either a singlet or a triplet state.
