We report on the detection of hydromagnesium isocyanide, HMgNC, in the laboratory and in the carbon rich evolved star IRC+10216. The J=1-0 and J=2-1 lines were observed in our microwave laboratory equipment in Valladolid with a spectral accuracy of 3,KHz. The hyperfine structure produced by the Nitrogen atom was resolved for both transitions. The derived rotational constants from the laboratory data are $B_0$=5481.4333(6),MHz, $D_0$=2.90(8),KHz, and $eQq(N)$=-2.200(2),MHz. The predicted frequencies for the rotational transitions of HMgNC in the millimeter domain have an accuracy of 0.2-0.7,MHz. Four rotational lines of this species, J=8-7, J=10-9, J=12-11 and J=13-12, have been detected towards IRC+10216. The differences between observed and calculated frequencies are $<$0.5,MHz. The rotational constants derived from space frequencies are $B_0$=5481.49(3),MHz and $D_0$=3.2(1),KHz, i.e., identical to the laboratory ones. A merged fit to the laboratory and space frequencies provides $B_0$=5481.4336(4),MHz and $D_0$=2.94(5),KHz. We have derived a column density for HMgNC of (6$pm$2)$times10^{11}$,cm$^{-2}$. From the observed line profiles the molecule have to be produced produced in the layer where other metal-isocyanides have been already found in this source. The abundance ratio between MgNC and its hydrogenated variety, HMgNC, is $simeq$20.

The rotational spectrum of silyl isocyanide (SiH$_3$NC), an isomer of the well studied silyl cyanide (SiH$_3$CN), has been detected in the laboratory in a supersonic molecular beam, and the identification was confirmed by observations of the correspo
nding rotational transitions in the rare isotopic species SiH$_3$$^{15}$NC and SiH$_3$N$^{13}$C. Spectroscopic constants derived from 19 transitions between $11 - 35$~GHz in the three lowest harmonically related rotational transitions in the $K = 0 ~{rm{and}}~1$ ladders of the normal isotopic species including the nitrogen nuclear quadrupole hyperfine constant, allow the principal astronomical transitions of SiH$_3$NC to be calculated to an uncertainty of about 4~km~s$^{-1}$ in equivalent radial velocity, or within the FWHM of narrow spectral features in the inner region of IRC+10216 near 200~GHz. The concentration of SiH$_3$NC in our molecular beam is three times less than SiH$_3$CN, or about the same as the corresponding ratio of the isomeric pair SiNC and SiCN produced under similar conditions. Silyl isocyanide is an excellent candidate for astronomical detection, because the spectroscopic and chemical properties are very similar to SiH$_3$CN which was recently identified in the circumstellar envelope of IRC+10216 by citet{cernicharo_discovery_2017} and of SiNC and SiCN in the same source.
C-cyanomethanimine (HNCHCN), existing in the two $Z$ and $E$ isomeric forms, is a key prebiotic molecule, but, so far, only the $E$ isomer has been detected toward the massive star-forming region. Sagittarius B2(N) using transitions in the radio wave
length domain. With the aim of detecting HNCHCN in Sun-like-star forming regions, the laboratory investigation of its rotational spectrum has been extended to the millimeter-/submillimeter-wave (mm-/submm-) spectral window in which several unbiased spectral surveys have been already carried out. High-resolution laboratory measurements of the rotational spectrum of C-cyanomethanimine were carried out in the 100-420 GHz range using a frequency-modulation absorption spectrometer. We then searched for the C-cyanomethanimine spectral features in the mm-wave range using the high-sensitivity and unbiased spectral surveys obtained with the IRAM 30-m antenna in the ASAI context, the earliest stages of star formation from starless to evolved Class I objects being sampled. For both the $Z$ and $E$ isomers, the spectroscopic work has led to an improved and extended knowledge of the spectroscopic parameters, thus providing accurate predictions of the rotational signatures up to $sim$700 GHz. So far, no C-cyanomethanimine emission has been detected toward the ASAI targets, and upper limits of the column density of $sim$ 10$^{11}$--10$^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ could only be derived. Consequently, the C-cyanomethanimine abundances have to be less than a few 10$^{-10}$ for starless and hot-corinos. A less stringent constraint, $leq$ 10$^{-9}$, is obtained for shocks sites. The combination of the upper limits of the abundances of C-cyanomethanimine together with accurate laboratory frequencies up to $sim$ 700 GHz poses the basis for future higher sensitivity searches around Sun-like-star forming regions.
We report the detection in TMC-1 of the protonated form of C3S. The discovery of the cation HC3S+ was carried through the observation of four harmonically related lines in the Q band using the Yebes 40m radiotelescope, and is supported by accurate ab
initio calculations and laboratory measurements of its rotational spectrum. We derive a column density N(HC3S+) = (2.0 +/- 0.5)e11 cm-2, which translates to an abundance ratio C3S/HC3S+ of 65 +/- 20. This ratio is comparable to the CS/HCS+ ratio (35 +/- 8) and is a factor of about ten larger than the C3O/HC3O+ ratio previously found in the same source. However, the abundance ratio HC3O+/HC3S+ is 1.0 +/- 0.5, while C3O/C3S is just 0.11. We also searched for protonated C2S in TMC-1, based on ab initio calculations of its spectroscopic parameters, and derive a 3sigma upper limit of N(HC2S+) < 9e11 cm-2 and a C2S/HC2S+ > 60. The observational results are compared with a state-of-the-art gas-phase chemical model and conclude that HC3S+ is mostly formed through several pathways: proton transfer to C3S, reaction of S+ with c-C3H2, and reaction between neutral atomic sulfur and the ion C3H3+.
We studied the abundance of HCN, H13CN, and HN13C in a sample of prestellar cores, in order to search for species associated with high density gas. We used the IRAM 30m radiotelescope to observe along the major and the minor axes of L1498, L1521E, an
d TMC 2, three cores chosen on the basis of their CO depletion properties. We mapped the J=1-0 transition of HCN, H13CN, and HN13C towards the source sample plus the J=1-0 transition of N2H+ and the J=2-1 transition of C18O in TMC 2. We used two different radiative transfer codes, making use of recent collisional rate calculations, in order to determine more accurately the excitation temperature, leading to a more exact evaluation of the column densities and abundances. We find that the optical depths of both H13CN(1-0) and HN13C(1-0) are non-negligible, allowing us to estimate excitation temperatures for these transitions in many positions in the three sources. The observed excitation temperatures are consistent with recent computations of the collisional rates for these species and they correlate with hydrogen column density inferred from dust emission. We conclude that HCN and HNC are relatively abundant in the high density zone, n(H2) about 10^5 cm-3, where CO is depleted. The relative abundance [HNC]/[HCN] differs from unity by at most 30 per cent consistent with chemical expectations. The three hyperfine satellites of HCN(1-0) are optically thick in the regions mapped, but the profiles become increasingly skewed to the blue (L1498 and TMC 2) or red (L1521E) with increasing optical depth suggesting absorption by foreground layers.
Using the Yebes 40m and IRAM 30m radiotelescopes, we detected two series of harmonically related lines in space that can be fitted to a symmetric rotor. The lines have been seen towards the cold dense cores TMC-1, L483, L1527, and L1544. High level o
f theory ab initio calculations indicate that the best possible candidate is the acetyl cation, CH3CO+, which is the most stable product resulting from the protonation of ketene. We have produced this species in the laboratory and observed its rotational transitions Ju = 10 up to Ju = 27. Hence, we report the discovery of CH3CO+ in space based on our observations, theoretical calculations, and laboratory experiments. The derived rotational and distortion constants allow us to predict the spectrum of CH3CO+ with high accuracy up to 500 GHz. We derive an abundance ratio N(H2CCO)/N(CH3CO+) = 44. The high abundance of the protonated form of H2CCO is due to the high proton affinity of the neutral species. The other isomer, H2CCOH+, is found to be 178.9 kJ/mol above CH3CO+. The observed intensity ratio between the K=0 and K=1 lines, 2.2, strongly suggests that the A and E symmetry states have suffered interconversion processes due to collisions with H and/or H2, or during their formation through the reaction of H3+ with H2CCO.
