Zn(CN) 2 is used to introduce the formyl group in to aromatic compounds in the Gatterman reaction where it serves a convenient, safer, and non-gaseous alternative to HCN. [7] Because the reaction uses HCl, Zn(CN) 2 also supplies the reaction in situ with ZnCl 2, a Lewis acid catalyst.
Zn 2+ is a class A acceptor in the classification of Ahrland, Chatt and Davies, [16] and so forms stronger complexes with the first-row donor atoms oxygen or nitrogen than with second-row sulfur or phosphorus. In terms of HSAB theory Zn 2+ is a hard acid. In aqueous solution an octahedral complex, [Zn(H 2 O) 6] 2+ is the predominant species. [17]
Although it is also highly toxic, Zn(CN) 2 is a solid, making it safer to work with than gaseous HCN. [5] The Zn(CN) 2 reacts with the HCl to form the key HCN reactant and Zn(Cl) 2 that serves as the Lewis-acid catalyst in-situ. An example of the Zn(CN) 2 method is the synthesis of mesitaldehyde from mesitylene. [6]

Because the S 2− anion has a subscript of 2 in the formula (giving a 4− charge), the compound must be balanced with a 4+ charge on the Pb cation (lead can form cations with a 4+ or a 2+ charge). Thus, the compound is made of one Pb 4+ cation to every two S 2− anions, the compound is balanced, and its name is written as lead(IV) sulfide.
Zinc(I) compounds are very rare. The [Zn 2] 2+ ion is implicated by the formation of a yellow diamagnetic glass by dissolving metallic zinc in molten ZnCl 2. [62] The [Zn 2] 2+ core would be analogous to the [Hg 2] 2+ cation present in mercury(I) compounds. The diamagnetic nature of the ion confirms its dimeric structure. The first zinc(I ...
It includes zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), [2] [3] [4] and copernicium (Cn). [5] Formerly this group was named IIB (pronounced as "group two B", as the "II" is a Roman numeral) by CAS and old IUPAC system. [note 1] The three group 12 elements that occur naturally are zinc, cadmium and mercury.
Cyanogen is the chemical compound with the formula (C N) 2. The simplest stable carbon nitride, it is a colorless and highly toxic gas with a pungent odor. The molecule is a pseudohalogen. Cyanogen molecules consist of two CN groups ‒ analogous to diatomic halogen molecules, such as Cl 2, but far less oxidizing.
