Compound Groups

Compound groups are groups of chemicals that share structural or chemical features. In most cases, hazard lists will assign hazards to individual substances. Compound groups are useful because in some cases, lists will instead identify a group of structurally similar compounds (such as lead compounds) as all having the same hazard. The Pharos staff is in the process of establishing and populating compound groups, and associating warnings from the hazard lists with them. The table below indicates how each compound group is populated, and what is the status of its population.
Compound Groups

Tail gas (petroleum), processed, distillates and fractions incomplete This compound group has not yet been assigned a structural definition. other 31 0
Tar acids, distillate phenols, crude phenols and other related fractions incomplete This compound group has not yet been assigned a structural definition. other 14 0

Tars, coal incomplete This compound group has not yet been assigned a structural definition. other 11 0
Tetraalkyl lead compounds in progress

This compound group has not yet been assigned a structural definition.

One approach would be to use the SMILES string 'C[Pb](*C)(C)C' and remove substances containing 'c[Pb]' (lowercase specifies aromatic). There are technical challenges since PubChem doesn't seem to provide an option to distinguish between aromatic and aliphatic carbons.

Trialkyl tin hydroxide incomplete

This compound group has not yet been assigned a structural definition.

Distinguishing between alkyl and aryl side chains is not straightforward in PubChem's substructure searches. The SMILES string "[CH2][Sn]([CH2])([CH2])[OH]" captures the relevant groups but is not specific enough.
