Ammoniate
Definition
A crystalline chemical compound or complex solvate containing ammonia bound as a ligand or as inclusion molecules within its crystal lattice, similar to hydrates for water. In an adjectival sense, it describes a dissolved ion or molecule that has closely associated with ammonia solvent molecules following the ammoniation (solvation in liquid ammonia) process.
