Can be pentazole (pentaazacyclopentadiene, N5H) or cyclohexasilane (hexasilabenzene, Si6H6) considered to be heterocyclic compounds ? Is heterocyclic opposite of carbocyclic or homocyclic ? --Mykhal 22:05, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I'll reply myself. I just have found out IUPAC definition of heterocyclic compounds: Cyclic compounds having as ring members atoms of at least two different elements.
So.. they cannot be. --Mykhal 22:15, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Merge notice
I support Olin's proposal for a merge with heterocycle, and I think this article should be the host page. Walkerma 06:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree, and I have altered the merge tags to be more specific mergeto and mergefrom tags with Heterocyclic compound being the one that remains. --Bduke 07:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Done. Olin
Great. There is no need to leave the text in the redirect page. I have edited it to remove the merge tag and category as these show when you look at the redirect page. --Bduke 21:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Health concerns
What about the possible cancer risk from heterocyclic amines in cooked foods? Shouldn't this warrant a separate article? http://www.cspinet.org/nah/6_98heat.htm Shanoman 23:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
