The answers to some of the most fundamental questions in science lie between the stars, in molecular clouds that serve as celestial laboratories. Disentangling the chemistries in extraterrestrial environments can provide clues about how planets form and shed light on problems in terrestrial chemistry that are difficult to investigate in the lab, and ...

Introduction to Astrochemistry [PDF]
, 2003 At first sight, the interstellar medium presents a very hostile environment to the formation and survival of complex molecules. As we have seen, it is crisscrossed by violent shocks and pervaded by intense UV and X-ray radiation fields, which can easily tear apart delicate molecular bonds.

One of a small number of known magnesium-containing astromolecules, magnesium isocyanide (MgNC) was first detected in 1986. MgNC is an intriguing reactant to consider: it is an open-shell radical in which its metal atom forms a bond with CN that is a ...

It is now well-accepted in astrochemistry that the formation of interstellar H2 is taking place on the surface of interstellar grains. It has also been suggested a long time ago that polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can catalyze this process by ...

A Natural Laboratory for Astrochemistry: The Variable Protostar B335
Astrophysical Journal LettersEmission lines from complex organic molecules in B335 were observed in four epochs, spanning a luminosity burst of about 10 yr duration. The emission lines increased dramatically in intensity as the luminosity increased, but they have decreased only ...

Quantum Chemistry and Astrochemistry: A Match Made in the Heavens.
Journal of Physical Chemistry AQuantum chemistry can uniquely answer astrochemical questions that no other technique can provide. Computations can be parallelized, automated, and left to run continuously providing exceptional molecular throughput that cannot be done through ...

The observation that the ortho to para ratio (OPR) of interstellar H2O is smaller than 3 is an important yet unresolved subject in astronomy. We irradiated O2 embedded in solid H2 at 3 K with vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) light and observed IR lines ...

Gas-phase chemistry in the interstellar medium is driven by fast ion-molecule reactions. This, of course, demands a mechanism for ionization, and cosmic rays are the ideal candidate as they can operate throughout the majority of both diffuse and dense interstellar clouds.
