Alkyne Functional Group Models
SKU: 68827W
Alkynes differ from the other hydrocarbons, alkanes & alkenes, by having a functional group with at least one pair of triple bonded carbons denoted as C≡C . Triple bonded sp3 carbon atoms, are connected in the models using 3 35mm clear bonds while single carbon-carbon bonds use 30mm and carbon-hydrogen uses 20mm. Start with these simple 2 to 10 carbon straight chain compounds to learn basic IUPAC alkyne nomenclature: Ethyne (C2H2); Propyne (C3H4); 1-Butyne (C4H6); 1-Pentyne (C5H8); 1-Hexyne (C6H10); 1-Heptyne (C7H12); 1-Octyne (C8H14); 1-Nonyne (C9H16); 1-Decyne (C10H18).
Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
Thanks for the feedback. The rigid bonds are great for chair boat flips but eventually wear out with repeated use. The clear bonds are tougher to work with at first but eventually loosen up enough to make them easier to use. They will last over many more uses which is good if you are taking chemistry as a degree.
