Chemical compound
Cyanoacetylene is an
organic compound with formula C3HN or H−C≡C−C≡N. It is the simplest
cyanopolyyne. Cyanoacetylene has been detected by
spectroscopic methods in
interstellar clouds,
[2] in the
coma of
comet Hale–Bopp and in the atmosphere of
Saturn's moon
Titan,
[3] where it sometimes forms expansive fog-like clouds.
[4]
Cyanoacetylene is one of the molecules that was produced in the
Miller–Urey experiment.
