Prebiotic Astrochemistry and the Formation of Molecules of Astrobiological Interest in Interstellar Clouds and Protostellar Disks

Chemical Reviews, 2020
Despite the generally hostile nature of the environments involved, chemistry does occur in space. Molecules are seen in environments that span a wide range of physical and chemical conditions and that clearly were created by a multitude of chemical ...

Cosmic-ray astrochemistry

Chemical Society Reviews, 2013
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.

Observational astrochemistry

Advances in Space Research, 1986
Astronomers have identified some 70 molecular species in dense interstellar clouds and the envelopes expelled by evolved stars. Some 75% of these are organic, including molecules with up to 13 atoms and with weights up to 147 daltons. Elements found in interstellar compounds include H, C, N, O, S, Si, and probably Cl.

Phosphine Reactivity and Its Implications for Pyrolysis Experiments and Astrochemistry.

Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2023
Despite the importance of phosphorus-bearing molecules for life and their abundance outside Earth, the chemistry of those compounds still is poorly described. The present study investigates phosphine (PH3) decomposition and formation pathways.

Introduction to Astrochemistry [PDF]

open access: possible, 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.

Astrochemistry

2021
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 ...

Potential Catalytic Role of Small Heterocycles in Interstellar H2 Formation: A Laboratory Astrochemistry Study on Furan and Its Hydrogenated Forms.

Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2022
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 ...
