Cumulenic carbon chains: giant absorbers — •Dmitry Strelnikov and Wolfgang Krätschmer — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, 69117 Heidelberg.

Cumulenic carbon chains have extremely strong IR and UV-Vis absorptions, a feature which facilitates their detection even in minute quantities. We present our results obtained by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy on bare carbon chains and their oxides trapped in cryogenic matrices. IR spectra of a novel hybrid molecule consisting of a C3 carbon chain attached to a C60 fullerene will also be presented and discussed.
