L'azotoidrato reagisce con gli alogenuri metallici generando numerosi alogenuri di azoturi metallici.

Derived from halogen - I've found "halide" but don't think this is the term

Can't find it in any standard dictionary.

halides
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halide
A halide is a binary compound, of which one part is a halogen atom and the other part is an element or radical that is less electronegative than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, or astatide compound. Many salts are halides. All Group 1 metals form halides with the halogens and they are white solids.

Metal halides are used in high-intensity discharge lamps called metal halide lamps, such as those used in modern street lights. These are more energy-efficient than mercury-vapor lamps, and have much better colour rendition than orange high-pressure sodium lamps. Metal halide lamps are also commonly used in greenhouses or in rainy climates to supplement natural sunlight.

Alkyl halides are organic compounds of the type R-X, containing an alkyl group R covalently bonded to a halogen X.

A halide ion is a halogen atom bearing a negative ion, such as fluoride ion (F-) or chloride ion (Cl-). Such ions are present in all ionic halide salts.

Pseudohalides resemble halides in their charge and reactivity; common examples are NNN-, CNO-, CN-, etc.

agree paolamonaco: sia il Sansoni in 2 vol. sia il Ragazzini 2003 confermano. (Ciao Stefano, era un po' che non ci si incrociava su Proz...:-))

  -> Thanks a lot :-) Ciaaaaaoo!

agree Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: I think so. The -ure suffix seems to be equivalent to English -ide. We encounter this in ozonüre = ozonide, cyanüre = cyanide, etc.
