1. Pyrophosphate

   In chemistry, pyrophosphates are phosphorus oxyanions that contain two phosphorus atoms in a P–O–P linkage. A number of pyrophosphate salts exist, such as disodium pyrophosphate (Na2H2P2O7) and tetrasodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7), among others. Often pyrophosphates are called diphosphates. The parent pyrophosphates are derived from partial or complete neutralization of pyrophosphoric acid. The pyrophosphate bond is also sometimes referred to as a phosphoanhydride bond, a naming convention which emphasizes the loss of water that occurs when two phosphates form a new P–O–P bond, and which mirrors the nomenclature for anhydrides of carboxylic acids. Pyrophosphates are found in ATP and other nucleotide triphosphates, which are important in biochemistry. The term pyrophosphate is also the name of esters formed by the condensation of a phosphorylated biological compound with inorganic phosphate, as for dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. This bond is also referred to as a high-energy phosphate bond.

1. pyrophosphate

   Pyrophosphate is a type of anion, or negatively charged ion, that consists of two phosphate groups linked by an oxygen atom. It is often used in biochemistry and molecular biology, specifically in DNA synthesis, as well as in certain chemical reactions where it can help to drive the reaction forward. In nature, it is produced by the hydrolysis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

1. Pyrophosphate

   In chemistry, the anion, the salts, and the esters of pyrophosphoric acid are called pyrophosphates. Any salt or ester containing two phosphate groups is called a diphosphate. As a food additive, diphosphates are known as E450. As well as the normal pyrophosphates, a number of hydrogen pyrophosphates also exist, such as Na2H2P2O7.
