Scientific paper

The existence of the polyynes in the interstellar medium appears to be critical to the understanding of interstellar chemistry. The family relationships of these species to other interstellar species are explored as are their significance to theories of interstellar chemistry. Methods are presented for deducing the numbers of related molecules. Some representative examples are given of species related directly to HC5N, the first polyyne to be detected. The initial study is confined to species of the class of linear chains, these being perhaps the most important and the basis of recent astrophysical studies. Formulae for molecules related to polyynes are tabulated along with numbers of molecules related to polyynes and observational data on interstellar abundance ratios.
