Polycyclic group

In mathematics, a polycyclic group is a solvable group that satisfies the maximal condition on subgroups (that is, every subgroup is finitely generated). Polycyclic groups are finitely presented, which makes them interesting from a computational point of view. (Wikipedia).

Nomenclature of Polycyclic Compounds: Naphthalene, Biphenyl, Anthracene, Spiro, Bicyclo

We've done tons of IUPAC nomenclature for simple molecules, but once we start introducing multiple rings, things get trickier. This is especially the case because there are so many ways to get multiple rings. They can be fused, they can be bicyclic, aromatic or aliphatic, and every type ha

What is Polypropylene and what is it used for?

From wiki: Polypropylene, also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar. W

Polynuclear Transition Metal Complexes

Up until now, all of the transition metal complexes we've been looking at have had a single metal center. But lots of these complexes can have more than one metal center. These are called polynuclear transition metal complexes. These metal centers may have bonds between them, or they may b

What are four types of polygons

👉 Learn about polygons and how to classify them. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by a finite chain of straight lines. A polygon can be concave or convex and it can also be regular or irregular. A concave polygon is a polygon in which at least one of its interior angles is greater than 1
