This functional group can prove toxic by inhibiting the function of cytochrome c oxidase and binding irreversibly to the heme cofactor.  In the Schmidt reaction, this group reacts with an alkene to form a compound that can rearrange to form an imine ("IM-een").  Both the Staudinger ligation and the Curtius rearrangement take advantage of this group's propensity to extrude diatomic nitrogen.  FTP, name this functional group consisting of three nitrogen atoms connected by double bonds and represented as N-3-minus.
