UV laser irradiations of cryogenic solid argon matrices doped with a mixture of acetylene and cyanodiacetylene (HC5N) resulted in the formation of a longer carbon-nitrogen chain, cyanotriacetylene (HC7N). The identification of this species was accomplished based on IR vibrational spectroscopy (including the study of isotopically labeled compounds), on electronic luminescence spectroscopy, and on theoretical predictions. Additionally, IR absorption bands recognized as due to HC7N were detected in photolysed Ar matrices doped with a cyanoacetylene/diacetylene mixture; this assignment was confirmed with the mass spectrometry of gases released upon the warm-up of the sample.

Linear carbon series cyanopolyacetylenes (HCN) ( = 3, 4, and 5) are astromolecules found in the atmosphere of Titan and interstellar media such as TMC-1 (Taurus molecular cloud-1). All these compounds are also detected in IRC + 10 216. In the present work, we comprehensively investigate electron interaction with important cyanopolyacetylene compounds, HCN (cyano-tri-acetylene), HCN (cyano-tetra-acetylene), and HCN (cyano-penta-acetylene).

This paper reports on UV-stimulated synthesis of methylcyanotriacetylene carried out in cryogenic rare gas matrixes via coupling of smaller precursors: propyne and cyanodiacetylene. The detection was possible due to the strong visible ã A' → X̃ A phosphorescence of CHCN, discovered in the course of this work. The ensuing measurements of electronic spectroscopy revealed the formally forbidden B̃ E-X̃ A system, as well as the allowed one Ẽ A-X̃ A, with origins at approximately 3.
