Quick move to entries starting with the letters C, E, F, H or I.

bromonium ions:* See under halonium ions.

chloramines:

Amines substituted at nitrogen with one or two chlorine atoms (a contracted form of N-chloroamines).

chlorocarbons:

Compounds consisting wholly of chlorine and carbon.

chlorohydrins: See halohydrins.

chloronium ions: See halonium ions.

epihalohydrins:

Compounds having the (halomethyl)oxirane skeleton:

fluorocarbons:

Compounds consisting wholly of fluorine and carbon.

fluorohydrins: See under halohydrins.

halirenium ions:

Cyclic cations having the structure X = F, Cl, Br, I

haloforms:

Trihalomethanes CHX₃.

halohydrins:

A traditional term for alcohols substituted by a halogen atom at a saturated carbon atom otherwise bearing only hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups (usually used to mean -halo alcohols). E.g. BrCH₂CH₂OH 'ethylene bromohydrin' (2-bromoethanol), ClCH₂CH₂CH₂OH 'trimethylene chlorohydrin' (3-chloropropan-1-ol), PhCH(OH)CH₂Cl 'styrene chlorohydrin' (2-chloro-1-phenylethanol).

halonium ions: *

Ions of the form R₂X⁺, where X is any halogen (X = Br⁺, bromonium ions; X = Cl⁺, chloronium ions; X = F⁺, fluoronium ions; X = I⁺, iodonium ions). They may be open-chain or cyclic. GNOC Recom. R-5.8.2. E.g.

iodohydrins: See halohydrins.

iodonium ions:* See under halonium ions.
