carbenes: The electrically neutral species H2C: and its derivatives, in which the carbon is covalently bonded to two univalent groups of any kind or a divalent group and bears two nonbonding electrons, which may be spin-paired (singlet state) or spin-non-paired (triplet state). 3, record 2, English, - carbene
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
In systematic name formation, carbene is the name of the parent hydride :CH2; hence, the name dichlorocarbene for :CCl2. However, names for acyclic and cyclic hydrocarbons containing one or more divalent carbon atoms are derived from the name of the corresponding all-[lambda subscript 4]-hydrocarbon using the suffix -ylidene. 3, record 2, English, - carbene

Use of the alternative name "methylene" [q.v.] as a generic term is not recommended. 2, record 2, English, - carbene

Dans la construction systématique des noms, carbène est le nom de l'hydrure fondamental :CH2 et, par suite, :CCl2 est dénommé dichlorocarbène. Toutefois, les noms des hydrocarbures acycliques et cycliques qui comportent un ou plusieurs atomes de carbone divalents sont dérivés des noms des hydrocarbures à carbones tétravalents correspondants en utilisant le suffixe -ylidène. Par exemple : CH2=CHCH: prop-2-én-1-ylidène, CH2=C:, éthénylidène; [...] Les sous-classes des carbènes comprennent les acylcarbènes RC(=O)CR, les imidoylcarbènes RC(=NR)CR et les vinylcarbènes. 2, record 2, French, - carb%C3%A8ne
