Meaning of dragonoid | Babel Free

Definitions

1. A dragon-like creature of various kinds.
2. A hypervalent organosilicon compound that features a five-membered coordination heterocycle incorporating a trifluorosilicon moiety (F₃Si–) and an internal Si←O coordination bond.

Examples

“In 1963 he published The Dragon Masters, set on an alien world where man's descendants wage war with an off-world race of dragonoid aliens, each side using troops of genetically engineered mutants bred from captured enemy soldiers.”

“...Joining the forces of Tigernoid and Dragonoid endangers the balance of our universe. Even if you had committed no crime, you existence violates the laws of our world.”

“The reaction of the corresponding alkoxysilanes with boron trifluoride etherate leads to (2-benzoxazolylthiomethyl) and (2-benzothiazolylthiomethyl) substituted trifluorosilanes and methyldifluorosilanes having a dragonoid chelate structure. By the hydrolysis of (2-heterylthiomethyl)trimethoxysilanes, new organosilicon sorbents, poly(2-heteryl-thiomethyl)silsesquioxanes have been synthesized.”

“In developing our research on organic hypervalent silicon compounds containing the F3SimO group included into the five-membered coordination heterocycle, which we called the dragonoids, we decided to obtain a similar organic silicon derivative of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol).”
