Partially restricted coupled cluster calculations involving connected triple substitutions have been carried out for linear SiC3 and SiC5 in their 3Σ- electronic states. Both species are of substantial interest to interstellar cloud chemistry. Accurate equilibrium structures are established and the equilibrium dipole moments of linear SiC3 and SiC5 are predicted to be -4.49 D and -6.20 D, with the positive ends of the dipoles at the silicon sites. Various spectroscopic constants are predicted for different isotopomers of SiC3.
