Cyanuret :: Cyanuret (n.) A cyanide.

Nitroprussic :: Nitroprussic (a.) Pertaining to, derived from, or designating, a complex acid called nitroprussic acid, obtained indirectly by the action of nitric acid on potassium ferrocyanide (yellow prussiate), as a red crystalline unstable substance. It forms salts called nitroprussides, which give a rich purple color with alkaline subphides..

Ferrocyanic :: Ferrocyanic (a.) Pertaining to, derived from, or designating, a ferrocyanide..

Nitrile :: Nitrile (n.) Any one of a series of cyanogen compounds; particularly, one of those cyanides of alcohol radicals which, by boiling with acids or alkalies, produce a carboxyl acid, with the elimination of the nitrogen as ammonia..

Cyanogen :: Cyanogen (n.) A colorless, inflammable, poisonous gas, C2N2, with a peach-blossom odor, so called from its tendency to form blue compounds; obtained by heating ammonium oxalate, mercuric cyanide, etc. It is obtained in combination, forming an alkaline cyanide when nitrogen or a nitrogenous compound is strongly ignited with carbon and soda or potash. It conducts itself like a member of the halogen group of elements, and shows a tendency to form complex compounds. The name is also applied to the u

Carbamine :: Carbamine (n.) An isocyanide of a hydrocarbon radical. The carbamines are liquids, usually colorless, and of unendurable odor..

Ferricyanide :: Ferricyanide (n.) One of a complex series of double cyanides of ferric iron and some other base.

Titano- :: Titano- () A combining form (also used adjectively) designating certain double compounds of titanium with some other elements; as, titano-cyanide, titano-fluoride, titano-silicate, etc..

Haloid :: Haloid (a.) Resembling salt; -- said of certain binary compounds consisting of a metal united to a negative element or radical, and now chiefly applied to the chlorides, bromides, iodides, and sometimes also to the fluorides and cyanides..

Prussiate :: Prussiate (n.) A salt of prussic acid; a cyanide.

Haloxyline :: Haloxyline (n.) An explosive mixture, consisting of sawdust, charcoal, niter, and ferrocyanide of potassium, used as a substitute for gunpowder..

Hydrocyanide :: Hydrocyanide (n.) A compound of hydrocyanic acid with a base; -- distinguished from a cyanide, in which only the cyanogen so combines..

Cyanaurate :: Cyanaurate (n.) See Aurocyanide.

Bicyanide :: Bicyanide (n.) See Dicyanide.

Nitrogen :: Nitrogen (n.) A colorless nonmetallic element, tasteless and odorless, comprising four fifths of the atmosphere by volume. It is chemically very inert in the free state, and as such is incapable of supporting life (hence the name azote still used by French chemists); but it forms many important compounds, as ammonia, nitric acid, the cyanides, etc, and is a constituent of all organized living tissues, animal or vegetable. Symbol N. Atomic weight 14. It was formerly regarded as a permanent noncon

Ferrocyanate :: Ferrocyanate (n.) A salt of ferrocyanic acid; a ferrocyanide.

Sulphocyanic :: Sulphocyanate (n.) A salt of sulphocyanic acid; -- also called thiocyanate, and formerly inaccurately sulphocyanide..

Turnbull''s Blue :: Turnbull's blue () The double cyanide of ferrous and ferric iron, a dark blue amorphous substance having a coppery luster, used in dyeing, calico printing, etc. Cf. Prussian blue, under Prussian..

Ferricyanic :: Ferricyanic (a.) Pertaining to, or derived from, a ferricyanide..

Aurocyanide :: Aurocyanide (n.) A double cyanide of gold and some other metal or radical; -- called also cyanaurate.
