Thermal decomposition of alkali metal, copper(I) and silver(I) thiocyanates

A luminescent [Ag3S3]n-tube based metal–organic framework

“…Upon further heating, the second weight loss occurs and the stable residue of 67.06% (calc. 67.58%) at 690°C is in agreement with percentage of Ag 2 S [29].…”

Shape-controlled synthesis and formation mechanism of nanoparticles-assembled Ag2S nanorods and nanotubes

“…Therefore, all above-mentioned evidence shows that the products are silver thiocyanate at the early reaction stage. Previous study explicitly shows that beyond 280 1C, AgSCN begins to decompose into Ag 2 S in ambient atmosphere [20]. However, in our solution-phase reaction system, AgSCN can entirely be transformed to Ag 2 S at 180 1C within 24 h. The reason is that, on one side, newborn AgSCN owns higher reaction activity; on the other hand, the solution-phase reaction mechanism is different from the solid-phase one.…”

Electronic Properties of Copper(I) Thiocyanate (CuSCN)

“…2017, 1600378 employed as a universal, highly transparent hole-injecting/extracting/transporting layer in a wide range of applications. [8] Additionally, CuSCN is chemically stable [13][14][15] and can be easily prepared at high purities as well as processed from solution-phase at low temperatures. [16][17][18][19] Moreover, owing to its quasi-molecular nature, CuSCN can be chemically modified; [20] in fact, the properties and applications of CuSCN derivatives are still awaiting exploration and could potentially open up a new range of possibilities.…”
