N2  - .The [M&#183;&#8211;l CN&#183;I- species from ethenetetracarbonitrile (tetracyanoethylene) reacts with neutral ethene- tetracarbonitrile to give the stable adduct C11N7-. The decomposing form of this adduct eliminates C2N2 to produce C,9N5- which may react with ethenetetracarbonitrile to yield C15N,9-. Analogous anionic polymerization reactions yield a number of detectable peaks in the i.c.r. spectrum of tetra- cyanoethylene, with the structures of the ions possibly corresponding to a. Diagram Polymerization of this type can also be initiated by other nucleophiles including Cl-, Br-, I- and CF3CO2-.
