It conducts itself like a member of the halogen group of elements, and shows a tendency to form complex compounds. The name is also applied to the univalent radical, <chform>CN</chform> (the half molecule of cyanogen proper), which was one of the first compound radicals recognized.</def>

<note>&hand; <i>Cyanogen</i> is found in the commercial substances, potassium cyanide, or prussiate of potash, yellow prussiate of potash, Prussian blue, Turnbull's blue, prussic acid, etc.</note>
