A hydrocarbon with 32 carbon atoms; a saturated alkane (C32H66) used in organic chemistry.
From Greek 'do-' (two) + 'tria' (three) + 'conta' (thirty) + '-ane' (alkane suffix). Literally means '32-chain hydrocarbon' in systematic nomenclature.
Chemists have an incredibly logical naming system—dotriacontane's name tells you exactly how many carbons it has (32) without ever needing to look it up, unlike common names like 'gasoline' or 'oil'.
