Description
It has long been suggested that CH_2_CN^-^ (cyanomethyl anion) might be a carrier of one of the many poorly characterized diffuse interstellar bands. In this paper, our aim is to study various forms (ionic, neutral, and deuterated isotopomer) of CH_2_CN (cyanomethyl radical) in the interstellar medium. The aim of this paper is to predict spectroscopic characteristics of various forms of CH_2_CN and its deuterated derivatives. Moreover, we would like to model the interstellar chemistry for predicting the column densities of such species around dark cloud conditions.
