Cyanoacetylene is an organic compound with formula C
3HN or H-C≡C-C≡N. It is the simplest cyanopolyyne. Cyanoacetylene has been detected by spectroscopic methods in interstellar clouds[2] and in the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan.[3]
Cyanoacetylene is one of the molecules that was produced in the Miller-Urey experiment.
