The theoretically predicted formation of an adduct between cyanide and anhydrous acetonitrile was tested experimentally; no evidence for such a complex was found.The previously reported radioactivity loss in the reactions of cyanide - 14C in acetonitrile solutions was possibly due to the protonation and loss of the hydrogen cyanide, since no exchange between cyanide and acetonitrile was evidenced within the sensitivity limits of 13C labelling.Potassium cyanide and carbonate in the presence of 18-crown-6 ether catalyze the H/D exchange between acetonitrile and trideuteroacetonitrile.
