//Astron. Astrophys.// **654**, art. no. A45 (2021).\\
The aminomethylidyne isomer was observed in the course of monitoring aboservation of of the //z// = 0.89 galaxy in front of the quasar PKS 1830−211 using the Yebes 40 m telescope. The column densities of H<sub>2</sub>CN is about four times that of H<sub>2</sub>NC.\\
