Linked from

The 45 pages that link to Functional group, each with the reason it gives.

• Infrared spectroscopyRelated: Functional-group frequencies provide familiar clues for assigning infrared bands.

• IUPAC nomenclatureRelated: Functional groups often determine the principal suffix and naming priority.

• PolymerizationRelated: Reactive functional groups determine which monomers can link in step-growth reactions.

• Chemical synthesisRelated: Functional groups indicate which transformations can build or modify a target.

• Chemical nomenclatureRelated: Functional groups determine many prefixes, suffixes, and parent structures in organic names.

• SteroidRelated: Small changes to attached groups help distinguish one steroid from another.

• MonomerRelated: A monomer’s functional groups determine which reactions can link it to other molecules.

• Organic compoundRelated: Functional groups distinguish compounds with similar carbon frameworks.

• PolycondensationRelated: Complementary functional groups on monomers provide the reactive sites for chain growth.

• Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopyRelated: Functional groups often have recognizable absorption regions that aid spectral interpretation.

• Ion-exchange resinRelated: Ion-exchange sites are functional groups attached to the polymer matrix.

• Chain terminationRelated: Growth stops when the functional group needed for the next coupling is unavailable.

• Homologous seriesRelated: Members often share a functional group, which explains their similar reactions.

• SemisynthesisRelated: Functional groups determine where and how a biological molecule can be chemically modified.

• Aliphatic compoundRelated: Functional groups add chemical behavior without determining whether the carbon framework is aromatic.

• Degree of unsaturationRelated: A functional group may contain unsaturation, but the count does not identify the group.

• DiolRelated: The two hydroxyl groups define the characteristic chemistry of a diol.

• Pendant groupRelated: A pendant group can contain one or more functional groups, but the terms describe different structural roles.
