  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008761",
  "term": "Phenoxides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Anions formed by the deprotonation of a phenol, where the hydroxyl proton is removed, leaving a negatively charged oxygen atom directly bonded to an aromatic ring. These species are resonance-stabilized due to the delocalization of the negative charge into the aromatic system. Phenoxides are generally stronger nucleophiles and bases than their parent phenols.",
