Predicted frequencies for NCCHCS

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the detection of cyanothioketene, NCCHCS, in the laboratory and toward TMC-1.

Description

This transient species was produced through a discharge of a gas mixture of CH_2_CHCN and CS_2_ using argon as carrier gas, and its rotational spectrum between 9 and 40GHz was characterized using a Balle-Flygare narrowband-type Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer. A total of 21 rotational transitions were detected in the laboratory, all of them exhibiting hyperfine structure induced by the spin of the N nucleus.

The spectrum for NCCHCS was predicted in the domain of our line surveys using the derived rotational and distortion constants. The detection in the cold starless core TMC-1 was based on the QUIJOTE line survey performed with the Yebes 40m radio telescope. Twenty-three lines were detected with Ka=0, 1, and 2 and Ju=9 up to 14.

The derived column density is (1.2+/-0.1)10^11^cm^-2^ for a rotational temperature of 8.5+/-1K. The abundance ratio of thioketene and its cyano derivative, H_2_CCS/NCCHCS, is 6.5+/-1.3. Although ketene is more abundant than thioketene by about 15 times, its cyano derivative NCCHCO surprisingly is not detected with a 3sigma upper level to the column density of 3.0x10^10^cm^-2^, which results in an abundance ratio H_2_CCO/NCCHCO>430.

Hence, the chemistry of CN derivatives seems to be more favored for S-bearing than for O-bearing molecules. We carried out chemical modeling calculations and found that the gas-phase neutral-neutral reactions CC+H_2_CS and CN+H_2_CCS could be a source of NCCHCS in TMC-1.
