I have read that propyl sulfide is a good solvent for CuSCN but it is toxic. Are there any non-toxic alternatives that have a solubility to make a least a 0.01M solution?
Copper(I) thiocyanate, CuSCN, is a white powder when pure, but often the material of commerce is yellow. It is soluble in ammonia solution, alkali thiocyanate solutions, and diethyl ether, but it is only slightly soluble in water and dilute mineral acids. It is stable in air in the absence of moisture, but it slowly decomposes in the presence of moisture in air.
