EA-4352 is an organophosphorus compound, which means it contains a phosphorus atom bonded to carbon atoms. The specific structure of EA-4352 includes a [[phosphonate]] group, which is a phosphorus atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to two other oxygen atoms. This group is attached to a [[benzene ring]], a hexagonal ring of carbon atoms with alternating single and double bonds.
