Heterocyclic compound or ring structure may be a cyclic compound that has atoms of a minimum of two completely different components as members of its ring(s). Heterocyclic chemistry is that the branch of chemistry addressing the synthesis, properties and applications of those heterocycles. In distinction, the rings of isocyclic compounds consist entirely of atoms of constant part.

Although heterocyclic compounds could also be inorganic, most contain a minimum of one carbon. Whereas atoms that square measure neither carbon nor hydrogen are normally referred to in organic chemistry as heteroatoms, this can be typically compared to the all-carbon backbone. However this doesn't stop a compound like borazine (which has no carbon atoms) from being tagged "heterocyclic". IUPAC recommends the Hantzsch-Widman language for naming heterocyclic compounds.
