A compound formed by the reaction of acetylene with a metal, similar to an acetylide.
From acetyl- + -id (a suffix used in chemistry for compounds and elements). This is an older or variant term for what is more commonly called an acetylide today.
Acetylid is an alternative name for acetylide compounds, which are created when the gas used in old welding torches (acetylene) bonds with metals—historically important in explosives research and metalworking.
