Abstract: We have conducted a comprehensive study of propionitrile (C2H5CN) ice from the amorphous to crystalline phase in order to provide detailed information on this specific cyanide, which may potentially contribute to the chemical composition of the Haystack ice cloud observed in Titan's stratosphere by the Cassini Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS). Infrared transmission spectra of thin films of pure propionitrile ices deposited at low temperature (30-160 K) were collected from 50 cm1 to 11,7...
