Structure
    
AgSCN is monoclinic with 8 molecules per unit cell. Each SCN− group has an almost linear molecular geometry, with bond angle 179.6(5)°. Weak Ag—Ag interactions of length 0.3249(2) nm to 0.3338(2) nm are present in the structure.[5]
Production
    
Silver thiocyanate is produced by the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium thiocyanate.
