Abstract

Recent work has indicated a similarity in chemical action of the-CN group in cyanogen and that in trifluoroacet~ nitrile.~-~ This has been interpreted as the result of the electron- withdrawing effects of the NC-and CF r groups, which enhance the electrophilic character of the CN car-bon involved in a resonance hybrid: d+
