  "term": "Thiocarboxylic acids",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds that are sulfur analogues of carboxylic acids, where one or both oxygen atoms of the carboxyl group are replaced by sulfur. They can exist as thiolic acids (R-CO-SH) or thionic acids (R-CS-OH), or dithioic acids (R-CS-SH). These compounds are generally more acidic and have lower boiling points than their oxygen counterparts.",
