Definitions for "Carbomer"

A carbomer in organic chemistry is an expanded molecule obtained by insertion of a C2 unit in a given molecule Carbomers. I. A general concept of expanded molecules Remi Chauvin Tetrahedron Letters Volume 36, Issue 3 , 16 January 1995, Pages 397-400 . Carbomers differ from their templates only in size but not in symmetry or energy when each C–C single bond is replaced by at least one alkyne bond and when a double bond is replaced by an allene bond.
