Chemical compound
Magnesium cyanide is a chemical compound with the formula Mg(CN)2. It is a toxic white solid. Unlike calcium isocyanide, the cyanide ligands prefer to coordinate at carbon, with a 0.3‑kcal/mol isomerization barrier.[1] When this salt is heated to 500 °C, it decomposes to magnesium nitride.[2]
