conjugado

conjugated

adjective kohn-hoo-GAH-doh Rare

Origin: From Latin conjugatus, past participle of conjugare (to join together).

Usage Note

Conjugado in chemistry refers to a system with alternating single and multiple bonds, allowing electron delocalisation — a polímero conjugado (conjugated polymer) can conduct electricity. In grammar it means 'conjugated' (a verb that has been inflected). The context almost always disambiguates the two senses; in materials science the chemistry sense dominates.

Examples

"Los polímeros conjugados son conductores de electricidad."

Natural Translation

Conjugated polymers are conductors of electricity.
