Popis: Vapors from solid and powdered carbon emitted from an oven cycled between 2000 and 3000 K were co-condensed with argon onto a CsI substrate maintained at 10 K. The cycling process produced a matrix “sandwich” with regions of high carbon density alternating with layers of argon. FTIR measurements including extensive 13 C isotopic data, supported by ab initio calculations, allow the assignment of a band at 1694.7 cm −1 to the ν 4 (e′) fundamental of cyclic C 6 . This represents the first conclusive identification of a small cyclic neutral polycarbon. Additionally, a vibration previously observed at 1710.3 cm −1 has been confirmed as the ν 9 ( σ u ) mode of linear C 8 .
