Silver thiocyanate is the silver salt of thiocyanic acid with the formula AgSCN.

Structure

AgSCN is monoclinic with 8 molecules per unit cell. Each SCN⁻ group has an almost linear molecular geometry, with bond angle 179.6(5)°. Weak Ag—Ag interactions of length 0.3249(2) nm to 0.3338(2) nm are present in the structure.^[5]

Production

Silver thiocyanate is produced by the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium thiocyanate.
