DEF

Partie organique de la molécule dont les caractéristiques de répartition électronique n'entraînent pas un moment électrique dipolaire notable. Un tel radical conditionne l'affinité pour les solvants organiques de faible polarité et par suite le caractère lipophile de la molécule. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.]
