Meet the azoles:
- 2 or more nitrogen atoms
- 1 nitrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom
- 1 nitrogen atom and 1 sulfur atom
- 2+ nitrogen ring fused with benzene
- indazole
- benzimidazole, included in vitamin B12 structure
- benzotriazole
- 2 nitrogen and 1 oxygen ring fused with benzene
- benzoxadiazole, included in NBD (fluor)
