Amiditte

Amiditte is not a recognized term in major reference works as of 2024. There is no entry for amiditte in standard mineralogical databases, chemistry handbooks, or encyclopedia indices. It may be a misspelling, a provisional project name, or a neologism.

Possible interpretations

- In chemistry, the closest established term is amidite (often written amidite or amidites), a class of reagents known as nucleoside phosphoramidites used for solid‑phase synthesis of oligonucleotides. These reagents feature a phosphoramidite group attached to a protected nucleoside and are activated during stepwise chain assembly to form phosphite triesters that are oxidized to phosphate linkages.

- In mineralogy or geology, amiditte could be mistaken for a proposed mineral name. No mineral named amiditte is listed in the IMA-CNMNC or Mindat collections.

- If amiditte is a fictional or project name, its properties would depend on the context in which it appears.

Etymology and context

The apparent root “amidi-” suggests a relation to amide chemistry, while the suffix “-ite” is common in mineral names and also appears in chemistry to denote certain classes of reagents. Without corroborating sources, no definitive definition can be given.
