[3] Imidogen has a large rotational splitting and a weak spin–spin interaction, therefore it will be less likely to undergo collision-induced Zeeman transitions.

[3] Ground-state imidogen can be magnetically trapped using buffer-gas loading from a molecular beam.

In appropriate contexts, imidogen can be viewed as ammonia with two hydrogen atoms removed, and as such, azylidene may be used as a context-specific systematic name, according to substitutive nomenclature.

Near chemical equilibrium important NH formation mechanisms are recombinations of NH+2 and NH+3 ions with electrons.

In dense clouds NH is destroyed by reactions with atomic oxygen and nitrogen.

[14] Using current values for rotational constants and vibrations of NH as well as those of OH and CH permit studying the carbon, nitrogen and oxygen abundances without resorting to a full spectrum synthesis with a 3D model atmosphere.
