Application

Sodium thiocyanate may be used as a reducing agent in the preparation of monodisperse gold oligoclusters.

General description

Morphological and differential thermal analysis of complexes of sodium thiocyanate with poly(ethylene oxide) have been studied. Ionic deep eutectic solvents composed of acetamide+lithium nitrate/sodium thiocyanate have been investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy.
