... formula I), a cyclic trimer of cyanic acid; a colorless crystalline compound, which is soluble in hot water and alcohol.Upon heating to 150°C, cyanuric acid depolymerizes without melting. Upon the action of alkalies, it forms monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic salts. In some of its reactions, for example, with diazomethane, it reacts in its tautomeric form ...

an equilibrium mixture of two tautomeric forms, cyanic acid (I) and isocyanic acid (II), the latter being more common under ordinary conditions:Cyanic acid is a colorless, highly mobile liquid, with a sharp odor. It has a melting point of – 80°C, a boiling point of 23.6°C, and a density of 1.14 g/cm 3 (at 0°C). It is readily soluble in water and ether. An aqueous solution of cyanic acid is a ...

nounCNOH) an unstable acid occurring mainly in the form of explosive salts and esters that is isomeric with cyanic acid. (.
