THE REACTION OF ACTIVE NITROGEN WITH ACETYLENE
J. Versteeg, Carl A. Winkler · Canadian Journal of Chemistry · 1953
The main products of this reaction were hydrogen cyanide and polymer that contained approximately 32% nitrogen. Yields of these substances increased to constant values with increase of acetylene flow rate. Some cyanogen and methane were also formed. The yield of cyanogen passed through a maximum with increased flow rate of acetylene, but the methane yields were quite erratic.
