Ammonium thiocyanate is used in the manufacture of herbicides, thiourea, and transparent artificial resins; in matches; as a stabilizing agent in photography; in various rustproofing compositions; as an adjuvant in textile dyeing and printing; as a tracer in oil fields; in the separation of hafnium from zirconium (important for the production of hafnium-free zircalloy for use in nuclear fuel ...
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.
For example, tetramethylammonium thiocyanate may be prepared from ammonium thiocyanate as follows: [7] NMe 4 + OH − + NH 4 + SCN − → NMe 4 + SCN − + NH 3 + H 2 O. TMAH and many other TMA salts containing simple anions thermally decompose into trimethylamine. [8] Dimethyl ether is a major decomposition product rather than methanol. [9 ...
Thiourea (/ ˌ θ aɪ. oʊ j ʊəˈr iː. ə,-ˈ jʊər i-/) [2] [3]}} is an organosulfur compound with the formula SC(NH 2) 2 and the structure H 2 N−C(=S)−NH 2.It is structurally similar to urea (H 2 N−C(=O)−NH 2), with the oxygen atom replaced by sulfur atom (as implied by the thio-prefix).
Ammonium is a modified form of ammonia that has an extra hydrogen atom. It is a positively charged molecular ion with the chemical formula NH + 4 or [NH 4] +.It is formed by the addition of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) to ammonia (NH 3).
In methyl thiocyanate, N≡C and C−S distances are 116 and 176 pm. By contrast, N=C and C=S distances are 117 and 158 pm in isothiocyanates. [7] Typical bond angles for C−S−C are 100°. [3] By contrast C−N=C in aryl isothiocyanates is 165°. Again, the thiocyanate isomers are quite different with C−S−C angle near 100°.
Reactions of barium hydroxide with ammonium salts are strongly endothermic. The reaction of barium hydroxide octahydrate with ammonium chloride [18] [19] or [20] ammonium thiocyanate [20] [21] is often used as a classroom chemistry demonstration, producing temperatures cold enough to freeze water and enough water to dissolve the resulting mixture.
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. Addition of a thiocyanate salt to a solution containing ferric ions gives a deep red color. The identity of the chromophore remains unknown. [15]
