THE MARTIAN SURFACE: Other Evidence Suggesting Carbon Suboxide

Mars: is the surface colored by carbon suboxide?

The reflection spectrum of Mars can be well matched from 0.2 through 1.6 microns (and farther) by polymers of carbon suboxide, reflection spectra for which have now been measured. We propose that the reddish color of Mars might be attributed to carbon suboxide, not the commonly considered limonite or other iron-bearing minerals.

The Electron-Diffraction Investigation of the Structure of Molecules of Methyl Azide and Carbon Suboxide.

We have applied the electron-diffraction method of studying the structure of gas molecules, developed by Mark and Wierl and briefly described by us in a recent paper,' in the determination of the atomic configuration and interatomic distances in methyl azide and carbon suboxide molecules. The results of the investigation are given in the following paragraphs, together with a discussion of the i...

Mechanistic studies on the decomposition of carbon suboxide in a cometary ice analog

A cometary ice analog sample consisting primarily of carbon suboxide ice (C3O2) was produced from the irradiation of its precursor, carbon monoxide. This carbon suboxide sample was subjected to irradiation with energetic electrons at 10K to simulate the interaction of carbon suboxide-rich cometary analog ices with ionizing radiation. The destruction of carbon suboxide as well as the production ...
