Excerpt from The Chemistry of Cyanogen Compounds and Their Manufacture and Estimation
Some years ago the author was interested in the production of cyanogen compounds, but found no up-to-date work on the subject: the information with regard to these bodies in the existing chemical dictionaries with unsatisfactory and often incorrect and misleading.
There were several excellent books dealing with the production and application of cyanides, but such chemistry as these books contained was mainly copied from the existing dictionaries and was characterised by the same inaccuracy and unsatisfactory nature.
The chemistry of these compounds had, however, not been left unregarded, as some considerable amount of original research and information has been published in the numerous technical and scientific journals, most of which is swamped by the great tide of organic chemistry of the last quarter of a century.
An attempt has been made by the author covering a number of busy years, to check the composition and properties of the cyanogen compounds, particularly the metallic salts, but although many hundreds of these compounds have been prepared and examined, the task has so far proved too great to complete, and the major portion yet remains to be accomplished.
