Sodium dicyanamide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to off-white powder

Uses

Sodium dicyanamide is used or the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g. chlorhexidine, biguanide, proguanil and alexidine). Product Data Sheet

Uses

Reactant for preparation of:

• Nickel diacetylpyridine dioximate pentanuclear, octanuclear and decanuclear cluster complexes
• Decanuclear manganese(II/III) oxo azide diolate clusters as supertetrahedral building-blocks to design extended magnetic networks
• Ruthenium bipyridine complexes entrapped in iron and manganese dicyanamide two-dimensional anionic sheet-like coordination polymeric networks exhibiting dual emission photoluminescence
• Lead dicyanamide-bridged nitronyl nitroxide radical polymeric complex
• Antiferromagnetically coupled hexanuclear copper(II) Schiff base complexes with dicyanamido bridges
• CuII2L based polymeric ladders using dicyanamide bridges
• Luminous hexacoordinated coordination polymers of cadmium(II), containing dicyanamide bridges

General Description

Sodium dicyanamide (NaDCA) is a white to off-white powder.It was used as a leaching reagent for gold recovery and can form a new catalyst system for benzene liquid hydrogenation to cyclohexene[1-2].
