Organic Chemicals

Definition of "Organic" Used

This list defines an organic chemical to be any that has a carbon-carbon or a carbon-hydrogen bond. However, certain exceptions have been made when the categorisation made by the above definition is widely regarded as being inappropriate. For example, lead acetate and uranyl acetate are both classed as inorganic, as they are far more likely to be used as a source of lead or uranyl ions than acetate ions. Conversely, urea, thiourea, isocyanuric acid and trichloroisocyanuric acid have been classed as organic, as they all have a relatively complex carbon based structure. Likewise, tetrachloromethane is classed as organic by analogy with similar methane derivatives.
