Cyanoacetylene is anorganic compound with the formulaC3HN orH−C≡C−C≡N. It is the simplestcyanopolyyne. Cyanoacetylene has been detected byspectroscopic methods ininterstellar clouds,[2] in thecoma ofcomet Hale–Bopp and in the atmosphere ofSaturn's moonTitan,[3] where it sometimes forms expansive fog-like clouds.[4]
Cyanoacetylene is one of the molecules that was produced in theMiller–Urey experiment.[5]
Nickel carbonyl catalyzes cyanoacetylenecarboalkoxylation tocyanoacrylate esters.[6]
