Tricyanomethane and its ketenimine tautomer were not simultaneously observed in the studies described by K. Banert, H. Beckers, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 9582 ff. Whereas the latter species was detected after irradiation of an appropriate vinyl azide in argon matrix, photolysis or thermolysis of the same precursor in solution led to cyanoform with a pyramidal structure, which can also be generated from tricyanomethanide. Single crystals of pure tricyanomethane were found to be surprisingly stable.
