Dissociative electron attachment to cyanoacetylene (propiolonitrile) HCCCN has been observed in the electron energy range 0 12 eV. Negative ions are formed in two main bands with maxima at ~1.6 eV (CCCN-) and ~5.3 eV (CCCN-, CN-, HCC- and CC-). There are also weaker resonances which lead to dissociative electron attachment to form CN-, HCC- and CC- with a maximum intensity at ~8.1 eV and CCCN-, CN- and CC- at ~11.2 eV. A trace of CCN- is observed at ~9.1 eV. The positions of the main dissociative attachment bands observed are close to positions of π* resonances recently calculated by Sommerfeld and Knecht. Calculations have also been performed in this work, which confirm the position of the π* orbitals. The electron affinity of the CCCN radical is determined as 4.59±0.25 eV from the threshold for CCCN- formation at 1.32±0.15 eV. Dissociative electron attachment to this molecule will act as a source of negative ions in extraterrestrial environments where electrons are present with more than 1.3 eV energy.
