“…The first report to mention CH 3 C 7 N (methylcyanotriacetylene, 6-methyl-1-cyanohexa-1,3,5-triyne, octa-2,4,6-triynenitrile) discussed its difficult synthesis, and provided infrared, as well as UV absorption spectra (for an ether solution) . Microwave transitions were subsequently investigated. ,, Theoretical results are available for rotational constants, molecular geometry, polarizability, and electric dipole moment. , …”
