  "term": "Thioketones",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds that are sulfur analogues of ketones, where the carbonyl oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur atom, resulting in a carbon-sulfur double bond (R2C=S). They are generally less stable and more reactive than their oxygen counterparts. Thiobenzophenone is a well-known example of a stable thioketone.",
