Abstract
New and recent results of laboratory measurements are presented which allow an assessment of four ion/molecule reaction schemes which have been proposed for the gas-phase synthesis of interstellar cyanopolyacetylenes. The schemes are scrutinized in terms of the manner of growth of the carbon backbone and the manner in which nitrogen is entrained in the formation of ions of the type H2C2n+1N+ which may neutralize by proton transfer or electron–ion recombination to form cyanopolyacetylenes.
