Relating to or describing compounds that contain both cyanide and carbonic acid components or functional groups.
From cyan- (cyanide) + carbonic (from carbon + -ic, relating to carbon dioxide or carbonic acid). A specialized term in organic chemistry nomenclature.
The prefix cyano- appears in thousands of chemical terms—cyanoacetic, cyanbenzyl, cyancarbonic—and it's become almost a building block that chemists use like Lego pieces to construct the names of new synthetic compounds.
