General description

Molar volumes of vapor-deposited butyronitrile glasses have been studied as a function of deposition temperature. Reactions of butyronitrile with high-temperature water at 330°C and pressures ranging from 128 to 2600bar were investigated.

Application

Butyronitrile was used in electrolyte composition in dye-sensitized solar cells†.
