Thiocyanogen: Its Spectra and Heat of Formation in Relation to Structure

“…This reaction, commonly used for the quantitative determination of thiocyanogen, should also serve as a basis for calorimetric determination of its heat of formation. From the numerous studies of the stability of thiocyanogen solutions,8, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] it was apparent that anhydrous acetic acid was the optimum solvent in which to prepare thiocyanogen solutions for use in calorimetric studies of reaction 2, serving to combine ease of preparation, stability and purity of the solutions, and moderate, well-characterized thermal effects when mixed with water. The first part of this investigation concerns such a calorimetric study and a comparison of the resulting heat of formation against values obtained from bond energies for various structures.…”

Vibrational frequencies and structural determination of thiocyanogen

“…However, its presence in aqueous solution was postulated in an earlier experiment [2] where the standard electrode potential for the conversion of thiocyanogen to the thiocyanate ion was measured and reported. Several methods for preparing thiocyanogen have appeared [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and it has proven to be an extremely useful reagent in the synthesis of novel organic and inorganic compounds [10][11][12][13][14][15]. The structure and bonding of thiocyanogen has been examined in theoretical studies [16,17].…”
