Potassium Cyanide-15N is a labeled form of potassium cyanide, where the nitrogen atom is replaced with the nitrogen-15 isotope. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in research for studying reaction mechanisms, metabolic pathways, and the behavior of cyanide in biological and environmental systems. The nitrogen-15 labeling allows for precise tracking and analysis using techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Potassium cyanide-15N is valuable in toxicology studies, forensic science, and biochemical research, where understanding cyanide’s interactions and transformations is crucial.
