cyanate ion is an anion with the chemical formula OCN−. It is a resonance of three forms: [O−−C≡N] (61%) ↔ [O=C=N−] (30%) ↔ [O+≡C−N2−] (4%). Cyanate is...

Ammonium cyanate is an inorganic compound with the formula [NH4]+[OCN]−. It is a colorless, solid salt. The structure of this salt was verified by X-ray...

Sodium cyanate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaOCN. A white solid, it is the sodium salt of the cyanate anion. The anion is described by...

termed a cyanate ester, with the formula R−O−C≡N, where R is an organyl group. Cyanate esters contain a monovalent cyanate group −O−C≡N. Cyanate esters...
