摘要：

We report the detection of the linear radical HC4 N in the C- rich envelope of IRC + 10216. After HCCN, HC4N is the second member of the allenic chain family HC2nN observed in space. The column density of HC4N is found to be 1.5 x 10(12) cm(-2). The abundance ratio HC2N/HC4N is 9, a factor of 2 larger than the decrement observed for the cyanopolyynes (HC2n+1 N/HC2n+3N). Linear HC4N has a (3)Sigma electronic ground state and is one of the three low- energy isomeric forms of this molecule. We have searched for the bent and ringed HC4N isomers but could only derive an upper limit to their column densities: less than or equal to 3 x 10(12) cm(-2) (at 3 sigma).
