  2. Organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_chemistry

    Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. [1] Study of structure determines their structural formula.

  3. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.

  4. Organolithium reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organolithium_reagent

    The degree of aggregation depends on the organic substituent and the presence of other ligands. [6] [7] These structures have been elucidated by a variety of methods, notably 6 Li, 7 Li, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. [1] Computational chemistry supports these assignments. [5]

  5. Heterocyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_compound

    A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1] Heterocyclic organic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles. [2]

  6. Outline of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_organic_chemistry

    Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation (by synthesis or by other means) of carbon-based compounds, hydrocarbons, and their derivatives. These compounds may contain any number of other elements, including hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, the halogens as well as phosphorus ...

  7. Structural chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_chemistry

    Structural chemistry is a part of chemistry and deals with spatial structures of molecules (in the gaseous, liquid or solid state) and solids (with extended structures that cannot be subdivided into molecules). For structure elucidation [1] a range of different methods is used.

  8. Open-chain compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-chain_compound

    In chemistry, an open-chain compound (or open chain compound) or acyclic compound (Greek prefix α 'without' and κύκλος 'cycle') is a compound with a linear structure, rather than a cyclic one. [1] An open-chain compound having no side groups is called a straight-chain compound (also spelled as straight chain compound).

  9. Carbonyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonyl_group

    For organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group with the formula C=O, composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and it is divalent at the C atom. It is common to several classes of organic compounds (such as aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids), as part of many larger functional groups. A compound containing a ...
