Talk:Nitrile

Untitled
There is an unlinked chinese article for nitrile, with no other-language links on it's own page, and not linked to from the other-language links on the english page. The nitrile chinese article is %E8%85%88. 65.78.17.194 20:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

permeability
please add a permeability table for various chemicals to various gloves: latex, nitrile, pvc, etc.

please consider adding an article on the nitrile glove
nitrile glove deserves it's own article.

nitrile
probably,nitrile is triply bonded nitrogen.remove carbon from cyanide group to get nitrile.it is derived from amino.removing a H atom in amino gives imine,remove another H from imine to get nitrile. so,cyanide has a carbon[-CN],while nitrile[triple bond N]does not.--219.64.177.21 (talk) 19:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

nitrile structure
the above article could be correct.that is how methyl cyanide becomes ethane nitrile in iupac. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarvodayaharish (talk • contribs) 19:09, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Merge/reorganize
Do we need three separate articles: Cyanide, Cyano radical, Nitrile? Please discuss. Biscuittin (talk) 19:38, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes! we do need three separate articles : cyanide is inorganic, nitrile is organic and the radical is outer space V8rik (talk) 20:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * While the value of the distinct subtopics may merit multiple articles, typical Wikipedia readers would benefit from an umbrella article to clearly identify and distinguish the subtopics, as the distinctions between organic versus inorganic contexts, for example, are not intuitively obvious to those unfamiliar with chemistry.

Too technical
The intro refers to a -CN group as both nitrile and cyano- without clearly distinguishing the two. There is reference to organic versus inorganic contexts, but then a sentence like "The prefix cyano- is used in chemical nomenclature to indicate the presence of a -CN group in a molecule." seems to conflate the two. It's important to clearly state how the intances differ and how they don't: e.g. are the structures of the groups identical but named differently only as a result of the oganic/inorganic context?

Safety
Is there a need for a section on safety of nitriles? John a s (talk) 07:55, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Use Iodine pentafluoride to make nitrile from primary amine -- sourced?
Primary amines react with iodine pentafluoride forming nitriles.[3] R-CH2-NH2 → R-CN  -- Ktsquare (talk)

Nitrile usage in PPE (specifically gloves)
Responding to my revert per WP:BRD. I added the now-reverted content and OSHA sources as Nitrile is notably used in the manufacture of PPE, specifically rubber gloves, due to the material being resistant to some solvents. I assumed that the article's existing subheading Nitrile was an excellent place to add this given the manufacture of gloves is an application of Nitrile. SamHolt6 (talk) 15:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
