title: NMR observation of hydrolysis of acetonitrile to acetamide catalyzed by binuclear silver cryptate.
abstract: NMR analyses (TOCSY, HMQC and DOSY) indicate that, in the presence of water, acetonitrile is exclusively hydrolyzed to acetamide catalyzed by bisilver cryptate complex, which contains coordinating acetonitrile molecule.
