Tetramethylsuccinonitrile or TMSN is an organic compound with the formula (C(CH3)2CN)2. Classified as a di[nitrile]] it is a colorless and odorless solid. TMSN is the by-product from the use of some radical initiators used in polymer manufacture.TMSN is derived from 22′-azobis-isobutyronitrile:(NC(CH3)2CN)2 → (C(CH3)2CN)2 + N2AIBN is a common radical initiator in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride polymers.
