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

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)
