NMR observation of hydrolysis of acetonitrile to acetamide catalyzed by binuclear silver cryptate.
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.
