C4H2, HC3N and C2N2 in Titan's atmosphere

Nature volume 292, pages 686–688 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

The compounds C4H2, HC3N, and C2N2 have been detected in trace amounts in the stratosphere of Titan. The identification of two compounds containing nitrogen, in addition to HCN, provides further evidence for the abundance of free N2 on Titan.
