Calcium Cyanamide
Calcium cyanamide, also known as Calcium carbondiamide, Calcium cyan-2°-amide or Calcium cyanonitride is the inorganic compound with the formula CaCN2. It is the calcium salt of the cyanamide () anion. This chemical is used as fertilizer and is commercially known as nitrolime. It also has herbicide, herbicidal activity and in the 1950s was marketed as cyanamid. It was first synthesized in 1898 by Adolph Frank and Nikodem Caro (Frank–Caro process).
