COC10H7

COC10H7 refers to a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H7O. This formula indicates a structure composed of ten carbon atoms, seven hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. The exact arrangement of these atoms determines the specific compound and its properties. Without further information about the connectivity, it is difficult to definitively identify the exact isomer. However, compounds with this general formula can belong to various classes of organic molecules, including alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, depending on the placement of the oxygen atom and the formation of double bonds. The C10H7 part of the formula suggests a hydrocarbon backbone that is likely aromatic, potentially derived from naphthalene or anthracene, which have ten carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms in their base structures. The presence of one oxygen atom implies that some hydrogen atoms have been replaced or double bonds are present to satisfy the valency of oxygen. Further structural details or a systematic name are required for a precise identification and understanding of its reactivity, physical characteristics, and potential applications.
