Potassium cyanide-13C-15N is a stable isotopic variant of potassium cyanide, where the carbon and nitrogen atoms are replaced with their heavier isotopes, carbon-13 and nitrogen-15, respectively. This compound retains the fundamental properties of potassium cyanide, which is a highly toxic, white crystalline salt known for its use in various industrial applications, including electroplating and as a reagent in organic synthesis. The presence of isotopes does not significantly alter the chemical behavior of the compound, but it can be useful in research, particularly in studies involving nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and tracing experiments. Potassium cyanide itself is highly soluble in water and can release hydrogen cyanide gas upon contact with acids, posing serious health risks. Safety precautions are paramount when handling this substance, as it can be lethal if ingested or inhaled. The CAS number 74889-51-3 specifically identifies this isotopically labeled compound, facilitating its recognition in scientific literature and regulatory contexts.
