This paper considers the formation of carbon-chain molecules, including C(2n)H, C(n)S, HC(2n+1)N (n = 1-3) and SiC(n) (n = 1-4), in the outflowing envelope of the late-type carbon star IRC + 10216. The results suggest that the organosulphur species C2S and C3S can be formed in ion-molecule reactions involving acetylenic ions and parent CS and SiS molecules. In addition to ion-molecule processes, neutral-neutral reactions can play a significant role in the formation of hydrocarbons and cyanopolyynes with up to six heavy atoms and in the formation of SiC4, and suggest that SiC3 might be observable.
