On the Formation of Interstellar Linear Molecules
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
A possible mechanism for the formation of interstellar linear molecules is studied experimentally by means of synthesis apparatus. C2 and CN radicals are abundantly formed from plasmas containing C, N and H atoms. The C2 and CN radicals survive electron bombardment. They collide with each other and recombine to form linear molecules.
