Organic Phosphate Salts
Organic Phosphate Salts
Organic compounds with phosphate groups are called organic phosphates. Also referred to as an ester of phosphoric acid salt, the phosphate group is attached to the carbon atom through one of its oxygens. Organic phosphates are known to be involved in energy transfer reactions. Phosphate groups in organic compounds are hypervalent, containing five bonds, and can form salts through ionic bonds between the cation and one of the oxygen anions.
