Talk:Functional group

message: We want Wiki-the encyclo. to solve the basic problems and try to understand the questions not only in words of chemistry but in the combination of other languages too. for instance english.
And the difficulties of students of lower grade should also be solved. That would be really nice of this site. 
Lots of thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.197.203 (talk) 19:13, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it just me or is the Acyl Chloride (R-COCl) group missing? Shouldn't it be in the "groups containing oxygen" category?

message: I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it (how often can you say that about entries on chemistry?), and would submit that this article is of higher quality than just "start".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.243.137.56 (talk) 20:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Sulfonic ester: Sulfonate
Notability: Wikipedia:Notability
The reason I make this request arises when I read the articles on Chondroitin sulfate and Heparin, and I try to find the names of the functional groups. For that matter, I would also appreciate if anyone could give the name of NH-SO3 functional group.
On a different note, it seems that there is a need for ranking and filtering by the "notability" of functional groups, so that grade school students can see an abridged list, while other mature readers can see a much longer list, and with more details.

replies: text: Well there is no standalone article yet, and only a short paragraph.  We have fairly poor coverage of groups of chemicals or functional groups. but I don't see why you cannot have it. Earlier today I was looking for info on the more obscure -N=S=O group which might be called "iminooxosulphurane", but I am not too sure about that. We don't have any yet for silicon, arsenic or selenium.  Currently the order is reasonable going from well known to obscure. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:29, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Some Si groups are covered in organosilicon. Off the top of my head I suppose the arsenic ones would be things like arsonic acids with As(V), since the As(III) compounds tend to be substituted things like R3As (I guess also the arsoles and arsabenzenes). I'd also add tellurium to the list. Double sharp (talk) 03:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The illustration for Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide appears to be wrong.

replies: text: I replaced it with tert-Butyl hydroperoxide, as Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide forms a dimer - which would be an example of the next entry. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:40, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Under "Table of common functional groups", at the top of "Groups containing oxygen", should sp/sp2 be sp2/sp3? --lifeform (talk) 07:00, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Some of the formulas have primes and double primes on Rs that are not reflected in the visual diagrams. Some of the visual diagrams (and matching formulas) use subscripts to indicate the identity of Rs, but subscripts are usually used to indicate quantity (which they are in this article for atoms and confusingly, for some Rs). For clarity, it would be good to convert everything to use primes or superscript numbers instead of subscripts to indicate identity. (Hmm, and other articles might have the same problem.) -- Beland (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Chemistry#Nomenclature specifies superscripts on Rs. -- Beland (talk) 21:30, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

message: Although not normally considered functional it would be good to include a list of common alkyl and aryl groups with names and abbreviations. By common I mean those that are common enough to have an abbreviation that may call for interpretation. In my case it is Bn- (benzyl?) that I am not familiar with. If they shouldn't be included here because they are not classified as functional (in certain respects they will have functions) please include a link to some other article.150.227.15.253 (talk) 09:16, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
