Gas-Phase Reactions of Si(1+)(2P) with Hydrogen Cyanide, Acetonitrile, Cyanogen, and Cyanoacetylene: Comparisons with Reactions of C(1+)(2P)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00183a011

Reactions of ground-state Si(1+)(²P) ions have been investigated with the cyanide molecules HCN, CH3CN, C2N2, and HC3N at 296+/-2 K with the selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) technique.All four cyanides were observed to form adduct ions with Si(1+)
