Polyacetylene cations (HC2nH+) play important roles in combustion processes and in the chemistry of planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds. Here we report the electronic spectrum for the triacetylene cation (HC6H+) recorded over the 300–610nm range by photodissociating mass-selected ions tagged with argon atoms in a tandem mass spectrometer. The spectrum shows three band systems that are assigned to (origin transition 16665cm−1), (origin transition 23916cm−1), and (origin transition 29920cm−1). Although the band system is well known, the and band systems are observed for the first time in the gas phase. In addition, the electronic spectrum of the protonated triacteylene cation tagged with an argon atom (HC6-Ar) is reported, providing the first gas-phase spectrum for this species.

Ion Molecule Reactions

From our laboratory data relating to several hundreds of ion-atom and ion-molecule reactions at thermal energies, we qualitatively describe probable chemical paths to the synthesis of amino-, cyano-and nitroso-compounds in interstellar clouds.

Rate constants obtained by the ICR technique are reported for reaction (1), C2H2+ + HCN and reaction (2) HCN+ + C2H2 such that k1 = 3.6 × 10−10 and k2 = 6.9 × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, respectively. Differences between these results and other measurements of reaction (1) are discussed. The relevance of reaction (1) to the formation of HC3N in interstellar clouds is also briefly assessed.
