Abstract
Abstract Homoleptic cyanide compounds exist of almost all main group elements. While the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals form cyanide salts, the cyanides of the lighter main group elements occur mainly as covalent compounds. This review gives an overview of the status quo of main group element cyanides and cyanido complexes. Information about syntheses are included as well as applications, special substance properties, bond lengths, spectroscopic characteristics and computations. Cyanide chemistry is presented mainly from the field of inorganic chemistry, but aspects of chemical biology and astrophysics are also discussed in relation to cyano compounds.
期刊介绍:
Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry (REVIC) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on developments in inorganic chemistry. Technical reviews offer detailed synthesis protocols, reviews of methodology and descriptions of apparatus. Topics are treated from a synthetic, theoretical, or analytical perspective. The editors and the publisher are committed to high quality standards and rapid handling of the review and publication process. The journal publishes all aspects of solid-state, molecular and surface chemistry. Topics may be treated from a synthetic, theoretical, or analytical perspective. The editors and the publisher are commited to high quality standards and rapid handling of the review and publication process.
