Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In organic chemistry, a carbonyl group is a functional group composed of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom : C=O. The term carbonyl can also refer to carbon monoxide as a ligand in an inorganic or organometallic complex (a metal carbonyl, e.g. nickel carbonyl); in this situation, carbon is triple-bonded to oxygen : C≡O. The remainder of this article concerns itself with the organic chemistry definition of carbonyl. For carbonyl metal processing refer to carbonyl metallurgy
