Some other Specially Named Acids
Dicarboxylic Acids
Diabolic Acids:
A class of compounds where the m and n chains can have different lengths and unsaturation. Named after the Greek diabollo, meaning to mislead–since they were particularly difficult to isolate. Also, one of the inventors thought that they had 'horns like the devil’.
• Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds.• Carboxylic acids of 6 carbons or less are typically quite water soluble.• Carboxylic acids are considerably more acidic than alcohols due to the
resonance stabilization of the carboxylate.

Nitriles: although they don't have a carbonyl, the nitrile carbon has the same oxidation state as a carboxylic acid.
