By contrast, in methyl thiocyanate, N≡C and C−S distances are 116 and 176 pm. Typical bond angles for C−N=C in aryl isothiocyanates are near 165°. Again, the thiocyanate isomers are quite different with C−S−C angle near 100°. [3] In both isomers the SCN angle approaches 180°.

Thiocyanate complexes are not widely used commercially. Possibly the oldest application of thiocyanate complexes was the use of thiocyanate as a test for ferric ions in aqueous solution. [15] The reverse was also used: testing for the presence of thiocyanate by the addition of ferric salts. The 1:1 complex of thiocyanate and iron is deeply red.
Thiocyanate [6] is known to be an important part in the biosynthesis of hypothiocyanite by a lactoperoxidase. [7] [8] [9] Thus the complete absence of thiocyanate or reduced thiocyanate [10] in the human body, (e.g., cystic fibrosis) is damaging to the human host defense system.
One of the thiocyanic acid tautomers, HSCN, is predicted to have a triple bond between carbon and nitrogen. Thiocyanic acid has been observed spectroscopically. [12] The salts and esters of thiocyanic acid are known as thiocyanates. The salts are composed of the thiocyanate ion ([SCN] −) and a suitable cation (e.g., potassium thiocyanate, KSCN).
In the yellow-coloured isomer, the nitro ligand is bound through nitrogen. In the red linkage isomer, the nitrito is bound through one oxygen atom. The O-bonded isomer is often written as [Co(NH 3) 5 (ONO)] 2+. Although the existence of the isomers had been known since the late 1800s, only in 1907 was the difference explained. [2]
The structure of Ni(SCN) 2 was determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and consists of two-dimensional sheets held together through Van der Waals forces. It belongs to mercury thiocyanate structure-type and can be considered a distorted form of the NiBr 2 (CdI 2) structure. Each nickel is octahedrally coordinated by four sulfurs and two ...
Sodium thiocyanate (sometimes called sodium sulphocyanide) is the chemical compound with the formula NaSCN. This colorless deliquescent salt is one of the main sources of the thiocyanate anion . As such, it is used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other specialty chemicals . [ 2 ]
