organoheteryl groups definition

 A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

 


Univalent groups containing carbon, which are thus organic, but which have their free valence at an atom other than carbon. This collective term is seldom used; specific subclasses are more frequently encountered (organothio- or organylthio, organogermanium- or organylgermanium groups). The synonymous term organoelement groups is occasionally encountered. E.g. phenoxy, acetamido, pyridinio (C5H5N+-), thiocyanato (NC-S-), trimethyl silyl; but not hydroxyphenyl, aminoacetyl. Cf. organyl.
