How many compounds have the formula C21H16O?

CompoundList lists 81 compounds with the molecular formula C21H16O, including 1,1,3-Triphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol, 1-(1,1'-Biphenyl)-4-YL-3-phenyl-2-propen-1-one, 9H-Fluorene, 9-((4-methoxyphenyl)methylene)-. Compounds that share a formula are isomers. They contain the same atoms arranged differently, so their properties, uses and prices can be very different.

What is the degree of unsaturation of C21H16O?

C21H16O has a degree of unsaturation of 14. That is the total number of rings and pi bonds (a double bond counts as one, a triple bond as two) in any structure with this formula.
