Technetium sestamibi is a commercial isocyanide complex that is used in medicine for imaging.
Nomenclature
Whereas in IUPAC nomenclature in most cases the suffix "nitrile" or
"carbonitrile" is used for organic cyanides (R-C≡N),[21]names for
isocyanides have the prefix"isocyano". IUPAC names
become isocyanomethane, isocyanoethane, isocyanopropane, etc.
The suffix "isonitrile" can be ambiguous, since the carbon counting is
different from "nitrile". For example, ethanenitrile ( CHCN)
and ethaneisonitrile (CHNC) are not isomers, as the prefix "iso" in the
suffix might suggest. In contrast, "isocyanide" does not have this
ambiguity: ethyl cyanide (CHCN) and ethyl isocyanide (CHNC) are indeed
isomers.
The sometimes used term "carbylamine" conflicts with systematic
nomenclature. An amine always has three single bonds,[22] whereas an
isocyanide has only one single and one multiple bond.
