Sodium trithiocyanate salt is a white crystalline solid with high solubility in water.

Trisodium trithiocyanate is often used in the coordination chemistry of metal ions and can be used as a ligand to participate in the formation of metal complexes. It can also be used as a catalyst, for example in organic synthesis reactions.

This compound is usually prepared by the reaction of thiocyanic acid with an alkali metal salt. Under laboratory conditions, trisodium thiocyanate salts can be prepared by mixing thiocyanate with a solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.

Safety information: Trisodium thiocyanate should be avoided from contact with skin and eyes, and appropriate protective equipment should be worn when handling. In addition, inhalation of its dust or solution should be avoided and the operation should be carried out in a well-ventilated area. In the process of handling and storage, attention should be paid to safety to avoid accidental ingestion or straying into the eyes.
