SUMMARY

The isocyanide ion, denoted as NC-, is structurally identical to the cyanide ion (CN-). There is no distinct isocyanide ion; the terms are often used interchangeably in chemical discussions. This conclusion is supported by the structural analysis provided in the forum, confirming that NC- does not exist as a separate entity from CN-.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical ion structures
  • Familiarity with molecular geometry
  • Knowledge of chemical nomenclature

What is the structure of isocyanide ion i.e NC-
The structure of CN- is in the attachment. But then what is the structure of NC- ion? That is isocyanide ion?

There is no isocyanide ion, or, put differently, it is identical to the cyanide ion.
