Nitrosyl cyanide is the compound with the molecular formula ONCN. It is a blue-green gas.[1] The compound has been invoked as a product of the oxidation of cyanamide catalyzed by the enzyme glucose oxidase.[2]
Structure, synthesis, reactivity
In terms of its structure, nitrosyl cyanide is planar. It is strongly bent at the internal nitrogen, analogous to the structure of nitrosyl chloride. The C-N-O angle is 113°. The NCN angle is 170°.[1]
The compound can be generated by the reaction of nitrosyl chloride and silver cyanide at low temperatures. It is not typically isolated, but trapped by Diels-Alder reactions, e.g. with butadiene. Cycloadditions occur across the N=O bond. It forms a reversible adduct with 9,10-dimethylantracene.[1]
