Editing Isothiocyanate (section)

==Structure==
The {{chem2|N\dC}} and {{chem2|C\dS}} distances are 117 and 158 [[picometer|pm]].<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/j.chemphys.2008.10.024|title=Structure and polarized IR spectra of 4-isothiocyanatophenyl 4-heptylbenzoate (7TPB)|year=2008|last1=Majewska|first1=Paulina|last2=Rospenk|first2=Maria|last3=Czarnik-Matusewicz|first3=Bogusława|last4=Kochel|first4=Andrzej|last5=Sobczyk|first5=Lucjan|last6=Dąbrowski|first6=Roman|journal=Chemical Physics|volume=354|issue=1–3|pages=186–195|bibcode=2008CP....354..186M}}</ref>  By contrast, in [[methyl thiocyanate]], {{chem2|N\tC}} and {{chem2|C\sS}} distances are 116 and 176 pm.

Typical [[bond angle]]s for {{chem2|C\sN\dC}} in aryl isothiocyanates are near 165°. Again, the thiocyanate isomers are quite different with {{chem2|C\sS\sC}} angle near 100°.<ref name= Erian>{{cite journal |doi=10.1016/S0040-4020(99)00386-5 |title=The chemistry of thiocyanic esters |date=1999 |last1=Erian |first1=Ayman W. |last2=Sherif |first2=Sherif M. |journal=Tetrahedron |volume=55 |issue=26 |pages=7957–8024 }}</ref>  In both isomers the {{chem2|SCN}} angle approaches 180°.
