DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
C07F

ACYCLIC, CARBOCYCLIC OR HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS CONTAINING ELEMENTS OTHER THAN CARBON, HYDROGEN, HALOGEN, OXYGEN, NITROGEN, SULFUR, SELENIUM OR TELLURIUM (metal-containing porphyrins C07D487/22)

Introduced: September 1968

Description

C07F covers organic compounds—whether acyclic, carbocyclic, or heterocyclic—that contain metallic or metalloid elements beyond the common organic constituents. This includes organometallic compounds, organophosphorus compounds (excluding those classified elsewhere), organosilicon compounds, and compounds containing boron, aluminum, or other main group metals. The class encompasses synthesis, structure, and properties of these compounds, which find applications in catalysis, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Compounds with elements already covered by dedicated subclasses (such as C07C for hydrocarbons or C07H for sugars and nucleosides) are excluded.

Glossary

alcoholate alcoholates product of substitution of hydrogen in hydroxy group of alcohol by metal atom. chelate chelates intracomplex compound i.e. compound containing intramolecular donor-acceptor bonds. metallocene Metallocenes cyclopentadienyl compound of transitional metal, e.g. ferrocenes, constrained geometry-type compounds. metallo-organic compound or organometallic compound organic compound containing metal bonded to carbon. organic compound organic compounds is defined as satisfying at least one of the following criteria: at least two carbon atoms bonded to each other, or one carbon atom bonded to at least one hydrogen atom or halogen atom, or one carbon atom bonded to at least one nitrogen atom by single or double bond. Exceptions to the above criteria are: compounds consisting of only carbon atoms (e.g. fullerenes, etc.), cyanogen, cyanogen halides, cyanamide, metal carbides, phosgene, thiophosgene, hydrocyanic acid, isocyanic acid, isothiocyanic acid, fulminic acid, unsubstituted carbamic acid, salts thereof; these exceptions are considered to be inorganic compounds for classification purposes. phenate phenates product of substitution of hydrogen in hydroxy group of phenol by metal atom. salt salts compound consisting of at least one anionic part and at least one cationic part. Carboxylate salts products where the hydrogen in a carboxyl group is replaced by an ion of metal or other cation.
