Silver complexes cyanates

Silver nitrate solution white, curdy precipitate of silver cyanate, AgOCN, soluble in ammonia solution and in dilute nitric acid. The precipitate appears instantaneously, without complex formation (difference from cyanide) ... 

A group of Russian workers [22 to 27] reported on the fluorination of mixtures of solid amines, amides, or cyano compounds with KF or CaF2. The reactions were carried out in a stream of F2 diluted with N2 at about -10 to +10°C. NF3 was one of the main products and was accompanied by fluorinated fragments of the compounds treated. The N-containing compounds studied include aliphatic amine hydrochlorides [22, 23], the amides of trifluoro- and difluoro acetic acid [24], potassium cyanate [25], silver and potassium thiocyanate [26], and a acetonitrile boron trifluoride complex [27].
