===== The HCnO (n ≥ 3) Radicals in the ISM =====

==== HC<sub>5</sub>O and HC<sub>7</sub>O ====

The [[molecules:ism:hco|HCO]] radical was detected in the ISM a long time ago. The detection of the [[molecules:ism:hcco|HCCO]] radical, however, was found only fairly recently.\\

//Astrophys. J.// **843**, Art. No. L28 (2017).\\
Two Λ-components of butadiynylformyl, each consisting of two HFS components, of the //J// = 17/2 – 15/2 transition were detected in emission near 21.945 GHz.\\
In addition, the hexatriynylformyl radical, HC<sub>7</sub>O, was tentatively detected through stacking the Λ-components of two transitions, //J// = 35/2 – 33/2 and 37/2 – 35/2 near 19.204 and 20.302 GHz, respectively. These reports may appear as space oddities, but we shall know more eventually.

//Astrophys. J.// **850**, Art. No. 187 (2017).\\
The Λ-components of two hexatriynylformyl transitions, //J// = 35/2 – 33/2 near 19.204 GHz (as before) and 33/2 – 31/2 near 18.107 GHz were detected weakly. Stacking of these data together with those from above yielded a reasonable detection.\\

Survey]]**\\
//Astron. Astrophys.// **656**, Art. No. L21 (2021).\\
Propynonyl, HC<sub>3</sub>O, was identified through two rotational transitions with 2 ≤ //J// ≤ 4 in the course of a molecular line survey of the prototypical cold dark molecular cloud TMC-1 carried out with the Yebes 40 m radio telescope between 31.0 and 50.3 GHz. 7 of the 8 strong hyperfine components of four fine structure components were detected clearly; two HFS components were unresolved. A value of //T//<sub>rot</sub> = 7 K was taken from C<sub>3</sub>O. HC<sub>5</sub>O is the most abundant of the HC<sub>n</sub>O molecules with n ≥ 1. Setting its relative abundance to 100, they obtained for HCO, HC<sub>2</sub>O, HC<sub>3</sub>O, HC<sub>5</sub>O, and HC<sub>7</sub>O the approximate ratios 79 : 55 : 9 : 100 : 46. Only upper limits were derived for HC<sub>4</sub>O and HC<sub>6</sub>O; these were in both cases similar to those of HC<sub>3</sub>O and are thus somewhat constraining.\\
