The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) in its definition of "inorganic" carbon compounds, states that such compounds may contain either C-H or C-C bonds, but not both. [7] The book series Inorganic Syntheses does not define inorganic compounds. The majority of its content deals with metal complexes of organic ligands. [8]
James Tour's research group designed and synthesized these compounds in 2003 as a part of a sequence on chemical education for young students. [2] The compounds consist of two benzene rings connected via a few carbon atoms as the body, four acetylene units each carrying an alkyl group at their ends which represents the hands and legs, and a 1,3 ...
Inorganic compounds exhibit a range of bonding properties. Some are ionic compounds, consisting of very simple cations and anions joined by ionic bonding.Examples of salts (which are ionic compounds) are magnesium chloride MgCl 2, which consists of magnesium cations Mg 2+ and chloride anions Cl −; or sodium hydroxide NaOH, which consists of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −.
In fact, they can be thought of as metal-organic polyhedra. These cages are quite different than the types previously discussed as they are much larger, and contain many cavities. Complexes with large diameters can be desirable as target guest molecules are becoming more large and complex. These cages have multiple shells, like an onion.
Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are a set of organic compounds that are typically photochemically reactive in the atmosphere—marked by the exclusion of methane. [1] NMVOCs include a large variety of chemically different compounds, such as benzene , ethanol , formaldehyde , cyclohexane , 1,1,1-trichloroethane and acetone . [ 2 ]
Non-stoichiometric compounds are chemical compounds, almost always solid inorganic compounds, having elemental composition whose proportions cannot be represented by a ratio of small natural numbers (i.e. an empirical formula); most often, in such materials, some small percentage of atoms are missing or too many atoms are packed into an ...
The chemical energy released in the formation of non-covalent interactions is typically on the order of 1–5 kcal/mol (1000–5000 calories per 6.02 × 10 23 molecules). [2] Non-covalent interactions can be classified into different categories, such as electrostatic, π-effects, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic effects. [3] [2]
