An ICR study of ion-molecule reactions in the C2H2/HCN systemUsing the ICR technique, rate constants are obtained for the reaction of C2H2(+) with HCN and of HCN(+) with C2H2. They are, respectively, 3.6 x 10 to the -10 cu cm/molecule-s and 6.9 x 10 to the -10 cu cm/molecule-s. Discrepancies between these results and other measurements of the first reaction are discussed. The relevance of this reaction to the formation of HC3N in interstellar clouds is considered.
