Merge/reorganize

Do we need three separate articles: Cyanide, Cyano radical, Nitrile? Please discuss. Biscuittin (talk) 19:31, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest to move the relevant sections of Cyano radical into Cyanide and create a redirect from this page. Myops (talk) 02:52, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

nomenclature question

What's the name of the chemical with a hydroxyl attached to the cyano carbon? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.70.58.119 (talk) 21:33, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The compound you're describing is a hypothetical cyanic acid. It tends to tautomerise to isocyanic acid, otherwise known as carboximidoyloxidane. Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:58, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
