We have extended this method to the detection of the hydrocarbon derivatives called nitro compounds.

Fatty acids are hydrocarbon derivatives; they contain a carboxyl group "head" and a hydrocarbon chain "tail."

However, hydrocarbon derivatives are responsible for the characteristic smell which is often a nuisance when LPG engines operate indoors.

Chemical Sources of Toxic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Derivatives Principal Investigator:

"Then, when we examined the gas composition of G. roseum, we were totally surprised to learn that it was making a plethora of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives.

The chief executive, Andrew N. Liveris, said in a statement the increases ”extremely unwelcome but entirely unavoidable” as the global cost of oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon derivatives surge ever higher.

The molecular dynamics in solution for a series of cyclic and bicyclic hydrocarbon derivatives has been investigated by C-13 pulsed Fourier Transform nuclear magnetic resonance spin–lattice relaxation experiments.

The ambient temperature ultraviolet absorption and the 77 K luminescence spectra of a series of four hydrocarbon derivatives of azulene in sulfuric acid solution are presented and discussed in detail.

Inoculating plants with certain endophytes may provide increased disease or parasite resistance while others may possess metabolic processes that convert cellulose and other carbon sources into "myco-diesel" hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives.
