About: Cyanocarbon

An Entity of Type: Band, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In organic chemistry, cyanocarbons are a group of chemical compounds that contain several cyanide functional groups. Such substances generally are classified as organic compounds, since they are formally derived from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with a cyanide group. The parent member is C(CN)4 (tetracyanomethane, also known as carbon tetracyanide). Organic chemists often refer to cyanides as nitriles.

dbo:abstract
  • In organic chemistry, cyanocarbons are a group of chemical compounds that contain several cyanide functional groups. Such substances generally are classified as organic compounds, since they are formally derived from hydrocarbons by replacing one or more hydrogen atoms with a cyanide group. The parent member is C(CN)4 (tetracyanomethane, also known as carbon tetracyanide). Organic chemists often refer to cyanides as nitriles. In general, cyanide is an electronegative substituent. Thus, for example, cyanide-substituted carboxylic acids tend to be stronger than the parents. The cyanide group can also stabilize anions by delocalizing negative charge as revealed by resonance structures. (en)
