  2. Biphenyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphenyl

    Biphenyl (also known as diphenyl, phenylbenzene, 1,1′-biphenyl, lemonene [4] or BP) is an organic compound that forms colorless crystals. Particularly in older literature, compounds containing the functional group consisting of biphenyl less one hydrogen (the site at which it is attached) may use the prefixes xenyl or diphenylyl .

    Bond direction symbols always come in groups of at least two, of which the first is arbitrary. That is, F\C=C\F is the same as F/C=C/F . When alternating single-double bonds are present, the groups are larger than two, with the middle directional symbols being adjacent to two double bonds.

  4. Phenyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenyl_group

    In organic chemistry, the phenyl group, or phenyl ring, is a cyclic group of atoms with the formula C6H5, and is often represented by the symbol Ph (archaically φ) or Ø. The phenyl group is closely related to benzene and can be viewed as a benzene ring, minus a hydrogen, which may be replaced by some other element or compound to serve as a ...

  5. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Initially, one line (representing a single bond) is drawn between each pair of connected atoms. Each bond consists of a pair of electrons, so if t is the total number of electrons to be placed and n is the number of single bonds just drawn, t−2n electrons remain to be placed. These are temporarily drawn as dots, one per electron, to a maximum ...

  6. Carbon–carbon bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–carbon_bond

    The carbon–carbon single bond is a sigma bond and is formed between one hybridized orbital from each of the carbon atoms. In ethane, the orbitals are sp 3-hybridized orbitals, but single bonds formed between carbon atoms with other hybridizations do occur (e.g. sp 2 to sp 2). In fact, the carbon atoms in the single bond need not be of the ...

  7. Aromatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_compound

    Heteroarenes are aromatic compounds, where at least one methine or vinylene (-C= or -CH=CH-) group is replaced by a heteroatom: oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. [3] Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one ...

  8. Rotamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotamer

    Allylic strain – energetics related to rotation about the single bond between an sp 2 carbon and an sp 3 carbon. Atropisomerism – due to restricted rotation about a bond. Folding, including the secondary and tertiary structure of biopolymers (nucleic acids and proteins). [11] Akamptisomerism – due to restricted inversion of a bond angle.

  9. Polychlorinated biphenyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl

    The use of microorganisms to degrade PCBs from contaminated sites, relying on multiple microorganisms' co-metabolism, is known as bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyl. Some micro-organisms degrade PCBs by reducing the C-Cl bonds. Microbial dechlorination tends to be rather slow-acting in comparison to other methods.
