.~.~ Organic component contains phosphorous attached directly or indirectly to carbon by nonionic bonding
DEFINITION
Classification: 507/128
Organic component contains phosphorous attached directly or indirectly to carbon by nonionic bonding:
(under subclass 103) Composition wherein phosphorous is attached to carbon directly or indirectly by nonionic bonding.
(1) Note. Included herein are alkyl phosphates, phosphonates, phosphatides (e.g., lecithin), etc.
(2) Note. A composition with phosphorous as part of a mere counterion to an ionic compound is not a basis for including such a composition in this subclass. For example, a quaternary ammonium phosphate is included in subclass 129.
