 Cyanogen - LoveToKnow 1911
When cyanogen is prepared by heating mercuric cyanide, a residue known as para-cyanogen, (CN)x, is left; this is to be regarded as a polymer of cyanogen.
Cyanogen is a colourless gas, possessing a peculiar characteristic smell, and is very poisonous.
It burns with a purple flame, forming carbon dioxide and nitrogen; and may be condensed (by cooling to - 25° C.) to a colourless liquid, and further to a solid, which melts at - 34.4° C. Faraday, Ann., 18 45, 56, p.

Cyanogen chloride shows solubility in both water (69 g/liter of water or about 2 1/4 ounces/gallon of water) and in most organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, chloroform or benzene); however, such mixtures often are unstable.
By this extended definition of “cyanogen”, cyanogen chloride is an example of a cyanogen as is the substance known as “oil of bitter almonds”.
Cyanogen chloride is considered to be a non-persistent substance because of its volatility.

Cyanogen chloride is nonpersistent, and decontamination may be accomplished by allowing sufficient time for the agent to evaporate while monitoring vapor concentrations and restricting access to avoid producing a hazardous situation.
Cyanogen chloride is a moderately important industrial chemical, with uses in synthesis, including the synthesis of herbicides, ore refining, and as a metal cleaner.
Vitrite consisted of 70% cyanogen chloride with 30% arsenic trichloride, with the arsenic trichloride serving as a stabilizer to prevent the formation of the trimer.

 Cyanogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The two cyano groups are bonded together at their carbon atoms: N≡C−C≡N. The word “cyanogen” may refer to a single cyano group in some molecules that are considered derivatives of cyanogen.
Cyanogen chloride (NCCl), for example, is considered (for the purposes of naming) to be cyanogen with one cyano group replaced with a chlorine atom.
Cyanogen, at room temperature, is a colorless gas with a pungent odor.

Cyanogen chloride Is used as a replacement for cyanogen bromide.
In this method, the cyanogen chloride is produced on-line from the reaction of potassium cyanide with chloramine-T. Thus, the need to handle a potentially hazardous chemical As eliminated.
However, cyanogen chloride is produced from the reaction of potassium thiocyanate and sodium hypochlorite rather than potassium cyanide and chloramine-T. The feasibility of adopting the thlocyanate/ hypochlorite reaction as part of method described in this report will be investigated.

Cyanogen Chloride is formed as a water disinfectant byproduct when chlorine is used to oxidize water impurities such as cyanide.
In the past, cyanogen chloride has been used as a chemical weapon (because it is a blood agent and it can stop the normal utilization of oxygen in the body) and as a pesticide.
Cyanogen chloride is still found in some workplaces where it is manufactured.

Cyanogen chloride, like hydrogen cyanide, is a colorless, highly volatile, soluble in water, and non persistent agent.
The protection and decontamination of cyanogen halides are similar to those of hydrogen cyanide except that mask filters are not as effective against cyanogen halides because they do not readily bond to the metal salts present in the masks.
The treatment of cyanogen halide poisoning should be the same way as hydrogen cyanide poisoning and because of the irritant nature of the cyanogen halides, treatment should also involve those measures taken in phosgene exposure.

 D4165-00 Standard Test Method for Cyanogen Chloride in Water
Cyanogen chloride is normally present only at very low concentrations; it is a very labile and sparsely soluble gaseous compound.
Water samples may contain cyanogen chloride after the chlorination of waste waters containing cyanide or thiocyanate compounds.
A quick test using a spot plate or comparator as soon as the sample is collected may be the best test, reducing the loss of cyanogen chloride during the time lapse between sampling and analysis.

 Cyanogen bromide (CASRN 506-68-3), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
Decreased protein efficiency ratio was produced by dietary cyanide treatment of rats during gestation, lactation and postweaning growth phase in the Tewe and Maner (1981) experiment; the dose level of cyanide (10.6 mg/kg/day) producing that effect is slightly lower than the currently accepted NOAEL of 10.8 mg/kg/day.
Although the toxicity of cyanogen bromide appears to be related to the release of cyanide in chronic exposure to low levels of cyanogen bromide (Hartung, 1982), the toxicity of undissociated cyanogen bromide has not been evaluated.
For example, cyanogen chloride is one order of magnitude less toxic (lethal dose, 20 mg/kg) than sodium cyanide (lethal dose, 2.2 mg/kg) when administered to rabbits subcutaneously (ACGIH, 1986).

 Studies tap into drinking water quality
In its gaseous form, cyanogen chloride is highly toxic.
Though the toxicity of dissolved cyanogen chloride at levels present in drinking water is not known, it is thought by scientists to be potentially harmful.
"Though cyanogen chloride is currently not regulated by the EPA, it is listed on the agency's priority list and is being looked at very closely to determine what levels, if any, are safe for consumption," Pedersen says.

Cyanide: Poisoning with cyanide, a rapidly acting, potentially deadly chemical that can exist as a colorless gas, such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) or cyanogen chloride (CNCl), or a crystal form such as sodium cyanide (NaCN) or potassium cyanide (KCN).
Cyanide sometimes is described as having a "bitter almond" smell, but it does not always give off an odor, and not everyone can detect this odor.
Cyanide is also known by the military designations AN (for hydrogen cyanide) and CK (for cyanogen chloride).
