DEFINITION

Classification: 528/353

(under subclass 350) Subject matter wherein at least one reactant is a tetra or higher carboxylic acid or is an acid

derivative thereof.

A compound having both an anhydride and a free carboxylic acid is considered as being a tricarboxylic acid, e.g., as shown in the first illustration, below, and a compound containing two anhydride groups is considered as being a tetracarboxylic acid, e.g., as shown in the second illustration, below.
