Cyanoacetylene
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, in the coma of comet Hale–Bopp and in the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan, where it sometimes forms expansive fog-like clouds.
