Abstract

Abstract: The elusive monomeric thioformyl cyanide HCSCN, a possibly cosmic species, has been generated in the gas phase, either by flash-thermolytic retroene reaction of allylcyanomethyl sulfide or by vacuum gas-solid dehydrochlorination of cyanomethylsulfenyl chloride over potassium carbonate. An investigation by millimeter wave spectroscopy led to unambiguous identification, molecular constants, and lifetime of HCSCN.
