Basic Information
CAS No.: 460-19-5
Name: CYANOGEN
Article Data: 493
Molecular Structure:
Molecular Structure of 460-19-5 (CYANOGEN)
Formula: C2N2
Molecular Weight: 52.0354
Synonyms: Cyanogen(C2N2) (8CI); Carbon nitride (C2N2); Cyanogen; Dicyan; Dicyanogen;Nitriloacetonitrile; Oxalic acid dinitrile; Oxalonitrile; Oxalyl cyanide
Density: 1.076g/cm3
Melting Point: -27.9℃
Boiling Point: °Cat760mmHg
Flash Point: °C
Solubility: 1.51E+05 mg/L at 25℃
Appearance: Colourless gas with pungent, almond-like odor
Hazard Symbols: Flammable limits in air 6–32%. Store away from light and heat. A very toxic material. TLV: 10 ppm.
Risk Codes: 11-23-50/53
Safety: A poison by subcutaneous and possibly other routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation. Human systemic effects by inhalation: damage to the olfactory nerves and irritation of the conjunctiva. A systemic irritant by inhalation and subcutaneous routes. A human eye irritant. Very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flames (sparks), or oxidizers. To fight fire, stop flow of gas. Potentially explosive reaction with powerful oxidants (e.g., dichlorine oxide, fluorine, oxygen, ozone). When heated to decomposition or on contact with acid, acid fumes, water, or steam will react to produce highly toxic fumes of NOx and CN. See also other cyanogen entries and CYANIDE.
