Abstract
A listing of carotenoids with heteroatoms (X = F, Cl, Br, I, Si, N, S, Se, Fe)
directly attached to the carotenoid carbon skeleton has been compiled. The 178 listed
carotenoids with C,H,X atoms demonstrate that the classical division of carotenoids into
hydrocarbon carotenoids (C,H) and xanthophylls (C,H,O) has become obsolete.
