| Components | HCN |
| Ratio | 1 |
| Substrate | KRS-5 or ZnS |

Crystalline hydrogen cyanide (HCN) ice deposited at 60 K onto a thallium bromoiodide (KRS-5) or zinc sulfide (ZnS) substrate, then annealed at 80 K and cooled down to 60 K, and held at 60 K during spectroscopic measurements.
The real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction were determined using optical measurements done at a temperature of 60 K, by infrared transmission spectroscopy from 3200 to 800 cm⁻¹ with a resolution of 1 cm⁻¹.
The accuracy of n is estimated at ± 1%.
