Elucidating the Formation of Ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC; X1A′) in the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC-1) via the Gas-phase Reaction of Tricarbon (C3) with the Propargyl Radical (C3H3)
The recent astronomical detection of ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCHCCC)—a high-energy isomer of triacetylene (HCCCCCCH) and hexapentaenylidene (H _2 CCCCCC)—in TMC-1 puzzled the laboratory astrophysics community since proposed reaction pathways could not synthesize the ethynylbutatrienylidene (HCCCH...
