The reaction dynamics of the dicarbon radical C-2(a(3)Pi(u)/ X-1 Sigma g(+)) in the singlet and triplet state with C4H6 isomers 2-butyne, 1-butyne and 1,2-butadiene were investigated at collision energies of about 26 kJ mol(-1) using the crossed molecular beam technique and supported by ab initio and RRKM calculations. The reactions are all indirect, forming C6H6 complexes through barrierless additions by dicarbon on the triplet and singlet surfaces. Isomerization of the C6H6 reaction intermediate leads to product formation by hydrogen loss in a dicarbon-hydrogen atom exchange mechanism forming acyclic C6H5 reaction products through loose exit transition states in overall exoergic reactions.
