We carried out the crossed molecular beam reaction of ground state methylidyne radicals, CH(X-2 Pi), with acetylene, C2H2(X-1 Sigma(+)(g)), at a nominal collision energy of 16.8 kJ mol(-1). Under single collision conditions, we identified both the atomic and molecular hydrogen loss pathways forming C3H2 and C3H isomers, respectively. A detailed analysis of the experimental data suggested the formation of c-C3H2 (31.5 +/- 5.0%), HCCCH/H2CCC (59.5 +/- 5.0%), and l-HCCC (9.0 +/- 2.0%). The reaction proceeded indirectly via complex formation and involved the unimolecular decomposition of long-lived propargyl radicals to form l-HCCC plus molecular hydrogen and HCCCH/H2CCC plus atomic hydrogen. The formation of c-C3H2 was suggested to be produced via unimolecular decomposition of the cyclopropenyl radical, which in turn could be accessed via addition of the methylidyne radical to both carbon atoms of the acetylene molecule or after an initial addition to only one acetylenic carbon atom via ring closure. This investigation brings us closer to unraveling of the reaction of important combustion radicals-methylidyne-and the connected unimolecular decomposition of chemically activated propargyl radicals. This also links to the formation of C3H and C3H2 in combustion flames and in the interstellar medium.
