Basically CN- is considered as inorganic, is known as nitrile. As a basic requirement, organometallic compounds should have minimum one M-C bonds. The second rule is although the compound exist with M-C bond, the carbon should have attached with hydrogen or some organic compound. Thus although NaCN, Fe(CN)6, Co(CN)6 etc has metal-carbon bond, their properties are not similar to organometallic complexes, rather they behave like inorganic coordination type compounds. Further, according to the second rule, the cyanide carbon is not coordianted with any hydrogen/ hydrocarbons. Hence CNs are not falling under organometallic compounds
Even though NaCN has metal carbon bond, its still not an organometallic compound because the carbon atom in NaCN is not part of organic group but part of Inorganic "N". Hence, it doesn't satisfy basics of Organometallic chemistry which says C atom must be a constituent of organic group.

Aluminum cyanide is a chemical compound also called Al(CN)3.
CsCN
CyanideAnswerTechnically, CN- (Cyanide) is not a compound, it is an ion. When referred to as an ion, Cyanide is generally written as CN-, with the elevated minus sign indicating it is a negatively charged anion. Potassium Cyanide (KCN) and Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) are the two most common forms of Cyanide.
An alkylmetal is an aliphatic organometallic compound.

An allylpalladium is any allyl organometallic compound of palladium.
An allylnickel is any allyl organometallic compound of nickel.
An allylzinc is any allyl organometallic compound of zinc.
Heme prosthetic group or Fe-protoporphyrin ix. A heme is madeup of protoporhyrin (ix) (organic compound) and Fe+2 (metal) hence organometallic.
Ammonium cyanide
The cation is ammonium ion. Cyanide ion is the anion. The systematic name for this compound is Ammonium Cyanide.
Ferrocene is an organometallic compound because it has two rings of cyclopentadienyl on opposite sides of a metal atom.
The chemical formula of sodium cyanide is NaCN.
