functionality - CISMeF

Preferred Label : functionality;

Detailed label : functionality, f of a monomer;

IUPAC definition : Number of covalent bonds that a monomer molecule or monomeric unit in a macromolecule or oligomer molecule can form with other reactants.;

Scope note : ethene and ethylene glycol are examples of difunctional monomers, glycerol is an example of a trifunctional monomer, and divinylbenzene and pentaerythritol are examples of tetrafunctional monomers.; if f 2, a branch point can be formed leading to a branched macromolecule, a network or a micronetwork.; if f 2, a linear chain macromolecule or a macrocycle can be formed.; there are no monofunctional monomers.;
