Preparation
Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide could be prepared by reacting Dimethylamidophosphoric dichloride with sodium cyanide.
Safety
This chemical is very flammable, highly toxic, and reactive. If ingested or absorbed through skin, it will cause mild nerve agent symptoms directly as well as blood agent symptoms due to release of HCN. If mixed with water, it gives off poisonous hydrogen cyanide fumes and dimethylamidophosphoric acid.
gollark: Actually, betterer idea, replace your copper-based cables with fiber-optic lines, then remove the fiber-optics and just point the laser transciever thingies at each other.
gollark: Actually, betterer idea, remove the walls too and just run a mess of cables over the floor.
gollark: Actually, better idea, just remove the doors.
gollark: It might interact badly with doors, for one thing.
