| | Ethynylium, with a <sup>3</sup>Π electronic ground state, was detected with the APEX 12 m sub-mm telescope in its lowest Ω = 2 //J// = 3 − 2 transition near 211.5 GHz toward the Orion Bar. The four strong hyperfine transitions, Δ//F// = +1, two each in the //f// and //e// Λ-doublets, were detected with good signal-to-noise ratio (S/N). The S/N was too low to detect the two weaker Δ//F// = 0 transitions. Ethynylium is about a factor of 15000 less abundant that the neutral C<sub>2</sub>H and about a factor of ~40 less than //l//-C<sub>3</sub>H.\\ |
