Zinc cyanide

Description:
Zinc cyanide, with the chemical formula Zn(CN)₂ and CAS number 557-21-1, is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline solid. It is known for its high toxicity, primarily due to the presence of cyanide ions, which can inhibit cellular respiration by binding to cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain. Zinc cyanide is soluble in water and can form complexes with various metal ions, making it useful in certain industrial applications, such as electroplating and as a reagent in organic synthesis. The compound is typically produced by reacting zinc salts with cyanide sources. Due to its hazardous nature, proper safety precautions must be taken when handling zinc cyanide, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to regulations regarding its storage and disposal. In addition to its toxicological properties, zinc cyanide can also pose environmental risks if released into ecosystems, necessitating careful management in industrial settings.
