      abstract     = {The formation and dissociation mechanisms of polycyclic
                      aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as well as their reactivity
                      with other interstellar molecules are elusive. In this work,
                      we have investigated the electrical discharge chemistry of
                      the PAH naphthalene and acetonitrile, a molecule known to be
                      present in interstellar environments, using a combination of
                      mass-selective IR-UV ion dip spectroscopy with the free
                      electron laser FELIX in the mid-IR frequency region (550 –
                      1800 cm$^{-1}$), and quantum chemical calculations. In
                      addition to the species known to be produced in the
                      electrical discharge of pure naphthalene, –CH$_3$ and
                      –CN substituted unsaturated hydrocarbons have been
                      identified. Most of them, in particular those containing a
                      nitrogen atom in the molecular framework, such as
                      benzo[7]annulene‐6‐carbonitrile, have a substantial
                      dipole moment and, therefore, can be considered as potential
                      candidates for astronomical searches. Among the species
                      observed, the two isomers 1- and 2-cyanonaphthalene, which
                      have been recently detected in the TMC-1, have been
                      unambiguously identified in our experiment, thus
                      highlighting the use of electrical discharge sources as a
                      valuable tool to produce astronomically relevant species.},
