Phenyl thiocyanate and phenyl isothiocyanate are isomers. Organic thiocyanates are organic compounds containing the functional group RSCN. the organic group is attached to sulfur: R−S−C≡N has a S–C single bond and a C≡N triple bond. [1] Organic thiocyanates are valued building blocks.
Lesser amounts of other hydrated compounds also form: e.g. Fe(SCN) 3 and [Fe(SCN) 4] −. [19] Similarly, Co 2+ gives a blue complex with thiocyanate. [20] Both the iron and cobalt complexes can be extracted into organic solvents like diethyl ether or amyl alcohol. This allows the determination of these ions even in strongly coloured solutions.
In organic chemistry, isothiocyanate is a functional group as found in compounds with the formula R−N=C=S. Isothiocyanates are the more common isomers of thiocyanates , which have the formula R−S−C≡N .

Allyl isothiocyanate is produced commercially by the reaction of allyl chloride and potassium thiocyanate: [4] CH 2 =CHCH 2 Cl + KSCN → CH 2 =CHCH 2 NCS + KCl. The product obtained in this fashion is sometimes known as synthetic mustard oil. Allyl thiocyanate isomerizes to the isothiocyanate: [8] CH 2 =CHCH 2 SCN → CH 2 =CHCH 2 NCS

Methyl thiocyanate is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 SCN. The simplest member of the organic thiocyanates, it is a colourless liquid with an onion-like odor. It is produced by the methylation of thiocyanate salts. The compound is a precursor to the more useful isomer methyl isothiocyanate (CH 3 NCS). [4]
Thiocyanic acid is a chemical compound with the formula H S C N and structure H−S−C≡N, which exists as a tautomer with isothiocyanic acid (H−N=C=S). [8] The isothiocyanic acid tautomer tends to dominate with the compound being about 95% isothiocyanic acid in the vapor phase.
