Cyanides and Cyanates

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of cyanides and cyanates for use in various applications. Cyanides, which contain the cyano group (-CN), and cyanates, characterized by the presence of the cyanate ion (OCN-), are highly significant in scientific research due to their unique chemical properties and reactivity. In organic synthesis, cyanides are often used as building blocks for the formation of nitriles, which are key intermediates in the production of agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. Cyanates, on the other hand, are valuable reagents in the synthesis of urethanes and isocyanates, which are crucial for the development of polymers and coatings. In coordination chemistry, the ability of the cyanide ion to form strong complexes with metals makes it an important ligand for studying metal-cyanide interactions, which can reveal insights into the electronic properties and reactivity of metal centers. Environmental scientists study cyanides and cyanates to understand their behavior and impact in natural waters and soils, particularly in the context of industrial pollution and bioremediation efforts. These compounds are also used in the field of analytical chemistry, where they serve as reagents and standards in techniques such as spectrophotometry and chromatography, aiding in the detection and quantification of various analytes. By offering a diverse selection of cyanides and cyanates, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports a wide range of scientific endeavors, enabling researchers to select the appropriate compound for their specific experimental needs. This extensive range of cyanides and cyanates facilitates innovation and discovery across multiple scientific disciplines, including organic chemistry, materials science, environmental science, and analytical chemistry.
