NHCl/ClNH...????? Is this possible?

[Nagelfar]

^Notice the NHCl (from the opposite facing flipping to ClNH)

JNJ-7925476, the image is so small I didn't notice it at first. Is an NHCl group possible? I've never seen it and the molecular rendering program I tried it on (that allows you to drop atoms on top of one another to combined them) doesn't allow this (it replaces the atom if it doesn't naturally adhere)

It refers to the hydrochloride salt of the ammonium ion. It's better expressed R3NH+ Cl-

 

[polymath]

There do exist compounds that have a nitrogen-chlorine covalent bond (instead of ionic bond) but they are very reactive or even explosive.

 

[aced126]

That's probably the salt

 

[belligerent drunk]

It is the salt. Otherwise there would be no hydrogen between the N and Cl, and anyway N-Cl is not really stable.

It's the salt.
