Astrochemistry: overview and challenges [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017 This paper provides a brief overview of the journey of molecules through the Cosmos, from local diffuse interstellar clouds and PDRs to distant galaxies, and from cold dark clouds to hot star-forming cores, protoplanetary disks, planetesimals and exoplanets.

Interrelations Between Astrochemistry and Galactic Dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 This paper presents a review of ideas that interconnect astrochemistry and galactic dynamics. Since these two areas are vast and not recent, each one has already been covered separately by several reviews.

Concluding remarks: Faraday Discussion on astrochemistry at high resolution [PDF]
Faraday Discussion 'Astrochemistry at high resolution', 2023, 2023 Fifty years on from the first detailed chemical kinetic modelling of astronomical sources, I provide some introductory comments on the history of astrochemistry, summarise some personal views on the topics covered in this discussion meeting, and conclude with some thoughts on its future development. I have left out the jokes.

A statistical and machine learning approach to the study of astrochemistry [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In order to obtain a good understanding of astrochemistry, it is crucial to better understand the key parameters that govern grain-surface chemistry. For many chemical networks, these crucial parameters are the binding energies of the species. However, there exists much disagreement regarding these values in the literature.

Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Diamonds, and Fullerenes in Interstellar Space: Puzzles to be Solved by Laboratory and Theoretical Astrochemistry [PDF]
AcSpe, 57, 627 (2001), 2000 New research is presented, and previous research is reviewed, on the emission and absorption of interstellar aromatic hydrocarbons. Emission from aromatic hydrocarbons dominate the mid-infrared emission of many galaxies, including our own Milky Way galaxy.

Astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas: introduction and overview [PDF]
Faraday Discussions, 2014 A brief introduction and overview of the astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas and their interplay is presented, aimed at non-specialists. The importance of basic chemical physics studies of critical reactions is illustrated through a number of recent examples.

A Vision for the Future of Astrochemistry in the Interstellar Medium by 2050. [PDF]
ACS Phys Chem Au, 2023 By 2050, many, but not nearly all, unattributed astronomical spectral features will be conclusively linked to molecular carriers (as opposed to nearly none today in the visible and IR); amino acids will have been observed remotely beyond our solar system;

AlF–AlF Reaction Dynamics between 200 K and 1000 K: Reaction Mechanisms and Intermediate Complex Characterization [PDF]
Molecules, 2023 AlF is a relevant molecule in astrochemistry as a tracer of F-bearing molecules. Additionally, AlF presents diagonal Franck-Condon factors and can be created very efficiently in the lab, which makes it a prototypical molecular for laser cooling. However,
