C4D has been detected in the cold interstellar cloud TMC-1 by means of the five strongest hyperfine components of the N = 2-1 transition at 17.6 GHz. An abundance ratio C4D/C4H = 0.0043 is found, in agreement with chemical models. By contrast, C3HD/C3H2 roughly 0.08 in TMC-1, nearly an order of magnitude larger than predicted. Implications of these discrepant ratios for ion-molecule chemistry are discussed.
