Abstract:The resonance-stabilization of the propargyl radical (C3H3) makes it among the most important reactive intermediates in extreme environments and grants it a long enough lifetime to recombine in both terrestrial combustion media and cold molecular clouds in space. This makes the propargyl self-reaction a pivotal step in the formation of benzene, the first aromatic ring, to eventually lead to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a variety of environments. In this work, by producing propargyl radicals in a flow tu… Show more
