chloraminen.
/ˈklɔːrəmiːn//klɔːˈramiːn//ˈklɔːrəmʌɪn/ Chemistry.
Any compound that contains a chlorine atom attached to a nitrogen atom, as: (a) any of the three compounds formed when one or more of the hydrogen atoms in ammonia is replaced by a chlorine atom; esp. the monochlorine derivative, NH2Cl, a colourless, oily, somewhat explosive liquid with bactericidal properties which has been used in the treatment of water supplies; (b) any derivative of a sulphonamide in which one or both of the hydrogen atoms in the amide group is replaced by chlorine; esp. sodium para-toluenesulphonchloramide (also called chloramine-T), a white crystalline solid used in solution as a disinfectant and antiseptic.

1916 H. D. Dakin et al. in Brit. Med. Jrnl. 29 Jan. 160/2 The substance chosen is paratoluene-sodium-sulphochloramide... It has been decided to assign the more convenient name ‘chloramine’ to the compound, thus indicating its membership in the group of substances containing the NCl linking. If, in future, other members of the group should come into use, it is suggested that the present compound should be known as chloramine-T to indicate its relationship with toluene.
