amidekapocs
Amidekapocs is a term found in Hungarian-language chemistry texts to describe an amide-based connector motif that links two molecular fragments. It refers to a functional unit wherein an amide bond serves as the linking point between components, potentially acting as a rigid, directional connector in polymers, bioconjugates, or supramolecular assemblies. While the fundamental chemistry is that of an amide bond, the label emphasizes the connector role rather than the mere presence of an amide.
Structure and properties: An amidekapocs consists of one or more amide linkages. The bond has partial double-bond
Synthesis and applications: Amide linkages are typically formed by standard coupling strategies, such as activating carboxyl
Terminology and status: The term is not universally standardized and may overlap with generic usage of “amide
