English term or phrase: cyclic hydrocarbon groups
Что это - циклические углеводородные группы? - или это надо обозвать как-то по-другому? Спасибо.
Chekh
циклические углеводородные группы
Explanation:
Even though I respect my colleague Haifza's offering, I must confess that in my understanding and experience with Russian chemical journals, the above-cited phrase would make more sense to Russian organic chemists...especially since it avoids the confusion regarding "radicals", which are, generally, a chemical species that is something entirely different. That is to say, a functional group may be a moiety attached to, say, a benzene ring, but it is not a radical.

циклические углеводородные радикалы


Explanation:
«группы» тоже можно сказать, но это - не специфическое понятие. «Группа» - это для описания функциональных групп. А углеводородные радикалы - это структурные группы (а не функциональные).
