Synthesis of Chemical Species Relevant in Environmental and Astro Chemistry: Their Production and Characterization by Synchrotron Radiation

In this work, the synthesis performed for neutral precursors (isothiocyanic acid, carbon suboxide and cyanoacetylene) used in studies of double photoionization spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation are presented. They were performed starting from few data present in the literature by modifying the procedure in order to obtain a better yield of the desired product with an optimized timing. All the synthetic procedures are related to chemical species of great relevance from an environmental and astrochemical point of view and not commercially available. They can be easily reproduced by any researcher interested in studying the chemical species that are the subject of this work.
