there are also other chemical compounds that are 'isothiocyanates' but googling "natrium isothiocyanate" gives a big zero - although this might also be a possibility of course

suggests that sodium isothiocyanate and sodium thiocyanate are 'synonyms' - so the same may be true in the case of natrium compounds (?)

You're absolutely right - and thank-you - I should have checked the 'sources' of the google hits I found for 'natrium thiocyanate' - (Swedish and German) - apologies

Comment: "Must be a typo.
I'll write "sodium thiocyanate" and pray. See http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search/ProductDetail?ProdNo=13478&Brand=RIEDEL"

sodium isothiocyanate
OBS! Isothiocyanate och thiocyanate are quite different compounds!
isothiocyanate -N=C=S
thiocyanate -S-C---N (---tripple bound between carbon and nitrogen)
isothiocyanate -N=C=S
thiocyanate -S-C---N (---tripple bound between carbon and nitrogen)
