Photochemical synthesis of the cyanodiacetylene HC(5)N: a cryogenic matrix experiment.
The reactivity of intermolecular complexes cyanoacetylene:acetylene and dicyanoacetylene:acetylene, trapped in solid argon matrixes at 10 K and irradiated with vacuum UV, has been studied. FTIR measurements, together with (2)H, (15)N, (13)C labeling experiments and with density functional theory (DFT) calculations (B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ), pointed to the formation of cyanodiacetylene HC(5)N (cyanobutadiyne). This synthetic route is potentially important for chemical models of the Titan's atmosphere.
