This article reports the spectroscopic signature of the 2-butyn-1-yl radical. The radical is an isomer of C4H5 and is is likely to be significant to reactions that occur during combustion of fuels, as well as reactions in extraterrestrial environments. In this work, the radical was formed by heating a mixture of 1-bromo-2-butyne and argon to 800 K in a pulsed, microtubular reactor. The resultant radicals and other trace products were trapped in a low-temperature argon matrix. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to record seven vibrational bands of the 2-butyn-1-yl radical. In conclusion, the experimentally observed frequencies and intensities of the seven vibrational bands were found to be consistent with computational predictions from the literature and also new calculations done in this work.
