  "term": "Thiocyanates",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds containing the functional group -S-C≡N, where a sulfur atom is directly bonded to an organic group and to a cyano group. They are isomers of isothiocyanates, which have the -N=C=S functional group. Thiocyanates can be synthesized by the reaction of alkyl halides with thiocyanate salts.",
