Experimental information on the C-X⋯π halogen bonding motif was obtained by studying the formation of molecular complexes of CF3Cl, CF3Br and CF3I with ethyne, propyne and 2-butyne in liquid krypton, using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. For CF3Br, experimental evidence was found for the formation of 1:1 complexes with propyne and 2-butyne only, while for CF3I spectroscopic features confirming the existence of the halogen bonded complexes were observed for ethyne, propyne and 2-butyne. In addition, at higher concentrations of CF3I and 2-butyne, weak absorptions due to a 2:1 complex were also observed. The experimental complexation enthalpies, obtained by using spectra recorded at temperatures between 120 K and 140 K, are -5.9(3) kJ mol(-1) for CF3I.ethyne, -5.6(3) kJ mol(-1) for CF3Br.propyne, -8.1(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF3I.propyne, -7.3(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF3Br.2-butyne, -10.9(2) kJ mol(-1) for CF3I.2-butyne and -20.9(7) kJ mol(-1) for (CF3I)2.2-butyne. The experimental study is supported by theoretical data obtained from ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ(-PP) and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(-PP) levels, and Monte Carlo Free Energy Perturbation (MC-FEP) simulations. The experimental and theoretical values on the C-X⋯π halogen-bonding motifs studied are compared with previously reported data for the complexes with ethene and propene and with preliminary results obtained for benzene and toluene.

Photoion mass-selected threshold photoelectron spectroscopy (ms-TPES) was used to identify the isoprene pyrolysis products in a SiC microreactor at 1400 °C with the help of literature and Franck-Condon simulated reference spectra for molecular species at the detected / ratios. The key observation is the presence of equimolar amounts of isoprene and cyclopentene at the pyrolysis temperature based on the / 68 ms-TPES, indicating kinetically allowed isoprene isomerization concurrently with fragmentation reactions. This isomerization was computationally explored and was found to take place a short-lived vinylcyclopropane intermediate, which was previously proposed to isomerize into isoprene and cyclopentene, with the latter product being dominant.

The selective adsorption of APPT-Cd-MOF 1 for propyne, 2-butyne and phenylacetylene was confirmed by single-crystal analysis. In addition, the selective adsorption performance of Cd-MOF for CH/CH/CH was investigated. The matching of the functionality and size/shape between porous materials and guest molecules clarified the specific recognition of 1 for linear alkyne molecules.

The reaction of the titanium imido complex with 2-butyne leads to the formation of the titanium azadiene complex at ambient temperature instead of yielding the archetypical [2 + 2] cycloaddition product (titanaazacyclobutene) which is usually obtained by combining titanium imido complexes and internal alkynes. The formation of is presumably caused by an initial propargylic C(sp)-H activation step and quantum chemical calculations suggest that the outcome of this unexpected reactivity is thermodynamically favored. The previously reported titanaazacyclobutene (which is obtained by reacting with 1-phenyl-1-propyne) undergoes a rearrangement reaction at elevated temperature to give the corresponding five-membered titanium azadiene complex .

Pure methane (CH4) ices processed by energetic electrons under ultra-high vacuum conditions to simulate secondary electrons formed via galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) penetrating interstellar ice mantles have been shown to produce an array of complex hydrocarbons with the general formulae: CnH2n+2 (n = 4-8), CnH2n (n = 3-9), CnH2n-2 (n = 3-9), CnH2n-4 (n = 4-9), and CnH2n-6 (n = 6-7). By monitoring the in situ chemical evolution of the ice combined with temperature programmed desorption (TPD) studies and tunable single photon ionization coupled to a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer, specific isomers of C3H4, C3H6, C4H4, and C4H6 were probed. These experiments confirmed the synthesis of methylacetylene (CH3CCH), propene (CH3CHCH2), cyclopropane (c-C3H6), vinylacetylene (CH2CHCCH), 1-butyne (HCCC2H5), 2-butyne (CH3CCCH3), 1,2-butadiene (H2CCCH(CH3)), and 1,3-butadiene (CH2CHCHCH2) with yields of 2.

The room-temperature photoabsorption spectra of a number of linear alkynes with internal triple bonds (e.g., 2-butyne, 2-pentyne, and 2- and 3-hexyne) show similar resonances just above the lowest ionization threshold of the neutral molecules.
