Bearing a cyclopentadienyl/carbonyl group Explanation: As a chemist, I use the construction type "the molecule bears a XX group", where XX = the group attached to the main skeleton of the molecule. In this description, it is being mentioned that a certain group of molecules can be used as substrates for a given reaction, giving some names of molecules such as TEMAV or, in other cases, mentioning that molecules with an specific structural property can also be used. Your sentences belong to this second group, and therefore if I had to describe it, it would ld be using the following: "the molecule is prepared using the following possible substrates: TEMAV [...], a molecule bearing a cyclopentadienyl or a carbonyl group...", which matches with the message in here. Hope this helps. Best of lucks with the translation work. Example sentence(s):
