Abstract

THE constitution of cyanamide, since its first synthesis in 1851, has been the subject of a very large number of publications. Whereas the chemical properties of this substance point to the structures NH2CN and NH : C : NH, its physical properties are held1 to favour the former. The modern tendency is to regard cyanamide as a mixture of these isomers in tautomeric equilibrium2, with the position of equilibrium considerably in favour of the cyanide structure.
