Abstract: | The existence of the polyynes — molecules consisting essentially of long chains of carbon atoms — in the interstellar medium is a discovery that appears to be critical to our understanding of interstellar chemistry. The family relationships of these species to other interstellar species are explored as are their significance to theories of interstellar chemistry. Methods for deducing the numbers of related molecules are presented. |
