Thiocyanic Acid
Thiocyanic acid, with the chemical formula HSCN, is a colorless, odorless liquid that is soluble in water. It is a weak acid formed when thiocyanate ions react with protons. Thiocyanic acid is often used in chemical synthesis and can act as a ligand in coordination chemistry.
In nature, thiocyanic acid can be found in certain plants and is produced during the breakdown of cyanogenic compounds. It is important in various biological processes and has applications in agriculture and medicine, particularly in the study of thyroid function due to its effects on iodine metabolism.
