Abstract
We propose a review of quantitative spectroscopy of polyynes in the infrared and ultraviolet domain focusing on essential spectroscopic parameters for the interpretation of observed spectra in the infrared and ultraviolet domain and for photochemical modeling. We point at the lacking data in both wavelength domains for C 2H 2, C 4H 2, C 6H 2, C 8H 2 and propose downloadable files of the ultraviolet absorption coefficient ready to use for photolysis rate calculations. For longer polyynes, we calculate extrapolated ultraviolet spectra and calculate their photolysis rate. Using a simplified photochemical model of the polyynes in Titan and CRL618, we predict their relative abundance and compare them with the observed ones. This also leads us to predict the abundances of the longer polyynes.
