The chemical formula of benzonitrile is or and is made up of a benzene ring and a nitrile group.
This substance has an odor of sweet bitter almonds and is colorless.
Eight non-H bonds, seven multiple bonds, one triple bond, six aromatic bonds, one six-membered ring, and one nitrile make up the total number of bonds in the benzonitrile molecule.
A helpful solvent, benzonitrile serves as a starting point for several derivatives. It is Diphenyl Ketamine's precursor.
With transition metal elements, benzonitrile may also generate coordination compounds that are soluble in organic solvents.
Stronger ligands can easily replace the benzonitrile ligand.
