An environmentally benign synthetic technique produces solid cyanamides, cyanimides, cyanates, and thiocyanates as well as some heterocyclic compounds in 100% yield [Eq. (1)]. Atomic force microscopy confirmed the three‐step mechanism, and revealed a new type of geometric surface feature, a rectangular depression resembling a swimming‐pool basin, during the cyanation of o ‐aminophenol and benzohydrazide.
