===== On Ethenimine in the ISM =====

The detection of ethenimine, aka ketenimine, in Sgr B2(N-LMH) has been reported very recently:\\

**[[https://doi.org/10.1086/506324|Detection of Ketenimine (CH<sub>2</sub>CNH) in Sgr B2(N) Hot Cores]]**\\
//Astrophys. J.// **645**, L137–L140 (2006).\\
Three lines have been detected thus far with the 100 m GBT of which one line at 4.9 GHz probably shows partially resolved hyperfine structure. 
The proposed single state temperature of 65 K appears to be peculiar and may indicate non-thermal population.
