Turner,\\ **[[https://doi.org/10.1086/186324|Detection of SiN in IRC +10216]]**\\ //Astrophys. J.// **388**, L35–L38 (1992). SiN is one of the few silicon containing molecules that have been observed in the interstellar medium – in this case in absorption toward Sgr B2(M):\\ P. Schilke, S. Leurini, K. M. Menten, and J. Alcolea,\\ **[[https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361:20031649|Interstellar SiN]]**\\ //Astron. Astrophys.// **412**, L15–L18 (2003).\\ Even though only the //J// = 5/2 – 3/2 fine structure component of the //N// = 2 – 1 rotational transition was observed the resolved <sup>14</sup>N hyperfine structure secures the detection. ---- Contributor(s): H.
