C17H14O8

C17H14O8 refers to a chemical formula representing a specific molecule composed of 17 carbon atoms, 14 hydrogen atoms, and 8 oxygen atoms. This formula alone does not identify a unique compound; rather, it represents a molecular formula, indicating only the types and quantities of each atom present in the molecule. Many different chemical compounds can share the same molecular formula but possess different structural arrangements (isomers) and therefore exhibit distinct physical and chemical properties.

Without additional information regarding the structural arrangement of the atoms (i.e., the structural formula or a specific name), it is impossible to identify the precise chemical compound represented by C17H14O8. This chemical formula could represent a variety of organic molecules, possibly including flavonoids, coumarins, or derivatives of benzoic acid, depending on the specific arrangement of atoms and functional groups. Determining the specific compound would require further analysis, such as spectroscopic data (NMR, IR, Mass Spectrometry) and/or knowledge of the compound's synthesis or origin.
