CyanocarbonCyanocarbons are a chemical compounds that contain several cyanide 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. The parent member is C(CN)4. Organic chemists often refer to cyanides as nitriles. Additional recommended knowledgeIn general, cyanide is an electronegative substituent. Thus, for example, cyanide-substituted carboxylic acids tend to be stronger than the parents. The cyanide group also stabilizes anions by delocalizing negative charge as revealed by resonance structures. Definition and examples“Cyanocarbons are organic compounds bearing enough cyano functional groups to significantly alter their chemical properties.”[1] Important cyanocarbons:
