Sodium dicyanamide, CAS: 1934-75-4

Key Applications:

1. Precursor in Ionic Liquid and Deep Eutectic Solvent (DES) Synthesis

• Serves as a key anionic precursor for preparing dicyanamide‑based ionic liquids used in electrochemistry, catalysis, and advanced materials.
• Enables formation of task‑specific ILs with tunable viscosity, conductivity, and thermal stability.

2. Nitrogen‑Rich Intermediate in Organic and Heterocyclic Synthesis

• Acts as a nucleophilic reagent for constructing guanidines, triazines, and other N‑rich heterocycles.
• Supports synthesis of specialty agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates.

3. Polymer and Resin Modification

• Used in the preparation of nitrogen‑containing polymer additives and crosslinkers.
• Contributes to flame‑retardant formulations and performance‑enhancing resin systems.

4. Metal Surface Treatment and Corrosion‑Inhibitor Systems

• Functions as a component in corrosion‑inhibiting blends for steel and copper alloys.
• Supports formation of protective surface complexes in aqueous and mixed‑solvent systems.

5. Coordination Chemistry and Materials Research

• Forms stable complexes with transition metals, enabling study of catalytic mechanisms and electronic structures.
• Used in the development of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and functional coordination materials.

6. High‑Energy and Nitrogen‑Rich Material Development

• Serves as a building block for energetic materials research due to its high nitrogen content and anionic structure.
• Supports synthesis of propellant additives and advanced energetic intermediates.
