AbstractThe cyanide anion (CN−) has been identified in cometary coma, interstellar medium, planetary atmosphere and circumstellar envelopes, but its origin and abundance are still disputed. An isolated CN− is stabilized in the vibrational states up to ν = 17 of the electronic ground-state 1Σ+, but it is not thought to survive in the electronic or vibrational states above the electron autodetachment threshold, namely, in superexcited states. Here we report the direct observation of long-lived CN− yields of the dissociative electron attachment to cyanogen bromide (BrCN), and confirm that some of the CN− yields are distributed in the superexcited vibrational states ν ≥ 18 (1Σ+) or the superexcited electronic states 3Σ+ and 3Π. The triplet state can be accessed directly in the impulsive dissociation of BrCN− or by an intersystem transition from the superexcited vibrational states of CN−. The exceptional stability of CN− in the superexcited states profoundly influences its abundance and is potentially related to the production of other compounds in interstellar space.
