Laboratory observations of the behavior of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) and the vitreous homogeneous organic compound vitrine may furnish a key to the identification of the 3.3-3.4 micron bands encountered in Comet Halley spectra between 3 and 4 microns. When the HAC annealing temperature rises, or when the rank of vitrines increases, a similar change occurs in the structure of these carbonaceous materials from a prevalent aliphatic to a dominant aromatic character. In situ mass spectrometry investigations of CHON particles conducted by Giotto and both Vega 1 and 2 appear to confirm the similarity of physical structure between carbonaceous particles and those observed in the laboratory.
