  2. Cyanide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide

    This group, known as the cyano group, consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. [1] In inorganic cyanides, the cyanide group is present as the cyanide anion − C≡N. This anion is extremely poisonous. Soluble salts such as sodium cyanide (NaCN) and potassium cyanide (KCN) are highly toxic. [2]

  4. Cyan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyan

    Cyan (/ ˈ s aɪ. ə n,-æ n /) [2] [3] [4] is the color between blue and green on the visible spectrum of light. [5] [6] It is evoked by light with a predominant wavelength between 500 and 520 nm, between the wavelengths of green and blue.

  5. Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

    Chemical structure of ethyl cyanoacrylate, the precursor to many commercial adhesives. The most common monomer is ethyl cyanoacrylate.Several related esters are known. To facilitate easy handling, a cyanoacrylate monomer is frequently formulated with an ingredient such as fumed silica to make it more viscous or gel-like.

  6. Cyanogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanogen

    The two cyano groups are bonded together at their carbon atoms: N≡C‒C≡N, though other isomers have been detected. [6] The name is also used for the CN radical, [7] and hence is used for compounds such as cyanogen bromide (NCBr) [8] (but see also Cyano radical). When burned at increased pressure with oxygen, it is possible to get a blue ...

  7. Cyanotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanotype

    The cyanotype was discovered, [2] and named thus, by Sir John Herschel who in 1842 published his investigation of light on iron compounds, [3] expecting that photochemical reactions would reveal, in form visible to the human eye, the infrared extreme of the electromagnetic spectrum detected by his father William Herschel and the ultra-violet or 'actinic' rays that had been discovered in 1801 ...

  8. Cyanocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanocarbon

    Cyanocarbons are organic compounds bearing enough cyano functional groups to significantly alter their chemical properties. [1] Illustrative cyanocarbons: Tetracyanoethylene, which reduces to a stable anion [C 2 (CN) 4] −, unlike most derivatives of ethylene. Pentacyanocyclopentadiene, which forms an air-stable anion, in contrast to ...

  9. Cyanotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanotoxin

    The cyano in the term cyanobacteria refers to its colour, not to its relation to cyanides, though cyanobacteria can catabolize hydrogen cyanide during nitrogen fixation. [1] Exposure to cyanobacteria can result in gastro-intestinal and hayfever symptoms or pruritic skin rashes. [2]
