title: C(5)N(-) anion and new carbenic isomers of cyanodiacetylene: a matrix isolation IR study.
abstract: Products of the vacuum-UV photolysis of cyanodiacetylene (HC(5)N) in solid argon -- the anion C(5)N(-), imine HNC(5), and the branched carbene C(4)(H)CN -- have been identified by IR absorption spectroscopy, in addition to the already discovered isonitrile HC(4)NC. Spectral assignments were assisted by deuterium substitution experiments, by BD(T) calculations, and by the results of a recent density functional theory study.
